The point is this :

1. C# expresses the pointers and memory handling explicity, that allows
for a newbie to make less mistakes.
2. A C program transformed partially into a C# programs with an pnet/C
implementation

Yes. I know that you have not seem much from me on dotgnu, most of my
work goes into the introspector project, even then, I am not rewriting
xml parsers or gettext functions, but creating interfaces to programs
like the gcc. 

Alot of fluff? maybe? .
the code that I write is treating program code as data. The programs
that manipulate that data can be written in shell, perl, n3, c# and
c++, that is not as impressive as one huge chunk of C code. 

My goals are long term and I am working towards them steadily, we will
see what you say when the pnet interfaces to the introspector are done,
this year.

My point is that richard  calling this idea the stupidist he has ever
heard is showing his lack of industry experience. The industry is full
of tools for code revererse engineering and transformations, the free
software world does not have so many products.
