Linux is reasonably reliable when compared to other mainstream general purpose operating systems. That's a far cry from asserting that Linux is fundamentally reliable by any absolute metric - running even a naive fuzzer against Linux will demonstrate a large number of bugs, many of which are due to C being a language that makes it extremely easy for people to fuck up. And yes, I'll gladly take "more syntax errors because of typos" if doing so means that it's unambiguous what a developer intended.
