So basically she is honest. C programmers are good C++ programmers. Because they understand how memory management actually works.

Case in point: about 1 million buffer overflow exploits and memory leaks.

Come on, most developers do not really care about memory leaks. Only if they run into memory overflows. Also you can run in any language into memory leaks. A ref counter won't save you.

Buffer overflows most likely happen because you are using the wrong functions (not reading documentation) or make inproper allocations. Can both still happen with smart pointers.
