Does your statement in some way address my point that "wanting correct results" is a legitimate reason to "care about safety in a science context" ?
So safety gets you faster development: less debugging, easier parallelisation etc., but it does not give you correct results, nor does it give you those results by spending less computational time.
And you legitimately can't imagine how reducing the likelihood of making bugs by using a language+compiler which can identify/prevent more of them would help?
I'll leave you to it then.
