Perhaps the meaning is like this:
* choose the least powerful language, so that, ideally, you can't
possibly do something dangerous;
* alternatively, choose a language that has arbitrary power, but
that supports analysis, so you can detect danger and avoid it.
Aside from everything else, I think a title such "The Rule of Most
Easily Analysed" as would attract zero interest or controversy. :-)
