Indeed it is a fact that finalizer of an object (if one exist) may or may not be called on exist, but I don't see it related to "it is broken" statement. There are no destructors in C#... (which seem to be the choice of language here as OP asked about .Net). | |

A useful one is: you can identify instances that potentially access singletons with a simple breakpoint in the debugger. Their main downsides seem to be that they are way overused ;) | |
