OP isn't claiming all runtime bugs can be prevented with static lints suggested by LLMs but, if at least some can, I don't see how your comment is contributing. Yet another case of "your suggestion isn't perfect so I'll dismiss it" in Hacker News.

Why is this such a common occurrence here? Does this fallacy have a name?
