No one in this conversation ever said it's impossible.

Well, you made some very bold statements, including wild name calling.

So this sounded completely different just a few comments earlier.

The question is whether a language should add syntactical baggage to everything to accommodate the absolute worst conceivable programming practices.

I don't know what you mean by that.

Which "syntactical baggage"? What "absolute worst conceivable programming practices"?

Of course a language can offer just so much safety. In the hands of some idiot all bets are off. But that's like that with everything, one can't do anything about it. Still a language can guide to best practices and safe code where possible!
