I think you are misconstruing what is being said. Truly, an addon should never crash the WoW client. Never ever ever ever.

The reality is, over the years, addons have crashed the client. Many times an addon can be re-coded to stop the crashing. But it still means that there was a bug in the WoW client that the addon triggered it.

This is really an academic observation. The WoW client is so complex, that it being bug-free, even in the addon environment, will most likely never be realized. But if an addon does crash the client, and the author finds a fix, he/she should report what they found to Blizzard.

Again, in a perfect world, an addon should never crash the WoW client
