That a logical fallacy. It's

X has property Y
X failed
therefor property Y causes failure

Eg..

DeLoreans had rear engines.
DeLoreans were a commercial failure.
Therefore rear engines cause commercial failure.

IE. If you want to use the failure of managed C++ as an argument 
against "managed pointers" or "multiple pointer types" you would 
have to show that it failed because of "managed pointers".
