Why? What's wrong with using one of the many static code analysis tool to tell you about them if/when they appear?

I'm sorry, can you explain what leads you to believe your hypothetical scenario is an argument rejecting the use of static code analysis tools?
I mean, I'm stating the fact that there are many many tools out there that can pick up these problems. This is a known fact. You're saying that hypothetically perhaps they might not catch each and every single hypothetical case. So what?
It's a good thing no one made that claim, then.
The whole point is that were seeing people in this thread making all sort of wild claims on how it's virtually impossible to catch these errors in C++ even though back in reality there are a myriad of static analysis and memory checker tools that do just that.
Your average developer also knows how to type in a space character but still it's a good idea to onboard linters and automatic code formatters.

You clearly pose static analysers as an alternative to understanding UB. You still need to understand how things work.
