That's not what's happening in this case. You're fixing a program that has just run if it doesn't pass certain validations. This is pretty much by definition not possible in a static analysis, whose purpose is to determine whether a putative program is in fact worth running in the first place.
On the other hand, in a typed language, when you check whether a term “t” has type “T”, it's a precondition that “T” is a valid type. If you haven't established that “T” is a type, you have to establish it first.
