That's reflection not generics. It's mostly the same denotational semantics, but much less efficient performance.

I think it's more than that. You wouldn't commit code that doesn't compile. Your entire organization, however, will troubleshoot the code that fails on runtime in production.

It's not the same semantics at all. Using the top type is not even close to using a type parameter.
