Not if you were following the thread.  And frankly, not even if you
read the article carefully.  I was not speaking in opposition to
static type checking, I was specifically talking about this religious
belief that static type checking is necessary for program reliability.
I was the first person in this discussion to say that dynamic typing
is less efficient, and that efficiency was a good reason to use static
typing sometimes.
