More it is a mindset that I favor. Which is that tools are not an excuse for not thinking.

I was doing a machining class where the instructor related stories that the machines with the most safeguards had the most accidents, he related it to people being less careful around them. There is a lot of research around accidents at NIH and elsewhere but I've not seen a really definitive study that took up the question of risk versus user awareness.

Having a process where you always run unit tests or lint Etc has been more reliable for me in terms of avoiding programming bugs escaping into production.
