How is it an exaggeration when he explicitly called this out?

ASAN isn't just "for testing". A lot of people went straight to the chart (like me) and it reeks of bullshit. double free is the same as use after free, null pointer dereference is essentially the same as type confusion since a nullable pointer is confused with a non null pointer, invalid stack read/write is the same as array out of bounds (or invalid pointers), etc

I also never heard of a data race existing without a race condition existing. That's a pointless metric like many of the above I mentioned
