This is interesting because another popular argument against Haskell is "Haskell's type checker can only check trivial properties that can be automated".

Either automating trivial things is valuable or it's not, and the anti-Haskell camp seems not to agree on which!

Automating trivial things is immensely valuable. And yes, Haskell’s type checker can only check a subset of things.
