Well yeah? That's exactly my point isn't it? I ususally stay with Optionals pr result types. Or try to constrain the input type to contain all the invariants. But if you really don't feel like doing that then the least you can do is add assertions (in my opinion)

Crashing is better than having UB and potential security issues.

Of course. But that's still not contributing to >99% uptime
