IMHO, "C is 100% unsafe" is a misleading way to look at it and the kind of exaggeration which I criticize. Also in C only specific language features are unsafe and not all code, and you can screen for these features and also isolate critical code in helper functions. Saying these features could appear everywhere is no difference from "unsafe" possibly appearing everywhere in Rust. I agree that "unsafe" is easier to find as a keyword, but I do not think this is a fundamental advantage, especially in projects where you have a lot of such "unsafe" blocks.
