If its true that bugs per line of code is more or less a constant, I think
the key is that some languages are more expressive than others.  So, in
assembler, you are moving data around registers, and doing basic math,
etc.  It takes a lot of code to get something done.  So maybe more bugs.
Moving up the ladder to C, which is in a way high level assembly language,
you get more done in few lines.  Python or other languages maybe do more
per line than C  (eg the for loop in python does a lot with very little
code because of python having iterable stuff built in)  So, if you have a
language that is expressive and fits your programming needs, you will have
less to debug -- not because you don't make as many errors, but the good
code just does more for you
