If all you can do is "hope for the best", you're doing it wrong. It's
your job to ensure that they are not arbitrary unrelated expressions,
but correctly related expressions, and that's no different from your
responsibility for all of the other expressions that make up your
program.

It's not a fact that someone who finds tools problematic shouldn't
be using them.

I wasn't talking about him finding the tools problematic. I was talking
aobut him find it difficult to ensure that the expressions are not
arbitrary unrelated expressions, but are in fact correctly related
expressions. If you cannot ensure that A, B, and C have the correct
relationship to make for(A; B; C) work as needed, then you also lack to
ability to make sure that the expressions in {A; B; C:} work together as
needed, and that ability is fundamental to computer programming.
