Now I will go out from office, sit into my car and drive home, that's really dangerous and I don't like it at all, but that's the way life is... :-)

Indeed but in programming we have a choice whether to take a dangerous action or not.
So do we in real life - I could've stayed at home today.

Quid pro quo, that's all. HLLs are safe, but resource-consuming. "Neat" programming style is the same as HLL (just there is no enforcement of it except self-discipline).

Did I say somewhere I advocate any one?
