Clearly, if you think that not being strict about indices is a good idea, you're either dealing with very different circumstances than I have and/or you're coding very differently.

I would agree with you be reasoning "in pure air" (I mean without having used both semantic versions). But concrete experience (of a huge number of programmers) in widely used programming languages demonstrate the opposite. Slice /upper/ bound checking is an idea that looks good in theory but is not in practice.
