I think the more nuanced point folks tend to make is that they catch the errors at Run Time instead of Compile Time, and that the cost of strict typing is greater than that of catching it at Run Time.

Personally, I'm agnostic (I make mistakes in all phases and fix most of them eventually ;) )

I agree that people make that point, and I agree that it's a good one. But it's irrelevant to this sub-thread, which started with me attempting to convince smt88 that they were misrepresenting the opinion of the people they were laughing at.
