UTF-8 is no worse than anything else in this respect. But the discussion *was* at the level of encoding! Still it is worse, since an arbitrary utf-8 slice may result in two illegal strings -- slicing "e`" results in two perfectly legal strings, at the encoding level. Had he used surrogates as an example, he would've been right... (But even that is an encoding issue.) Just
