I would agree with you be reasoning "in pure air" (I mean without having used 
both semantic versions). But concrete experience (of a huge number of 
programmers) in widely used programming languages demonstrate the opposite. 
Slice /upper/ bound checking is an idea that looks good in theory but is not in 
practice.
