> Bad Ada code is no better than bad code in any other language.
Ada's strictness allows it to catch many more errors at compile time than, say, C.
> Bad Ada code could be worse if it often works by accident, where other code might have failed visibly and been rejected.
This is backward. Errors will be more easily detected in Ada than in, say, C. C is full of footguns and undefined behaviour. Vanilla Ada still isn't actually a safe language, unfortunately, but as a matter of degree, it's much safer than C.
