The article says that dynamically typed code and statically typed code has a similar number of bugs per line.

It also says that a software feature only needs 1/2.5 lines if you are using dynamic typing.

That means dynamic typing reduces bugs by 2.5x compared to static typing per software feature.

None of these are anywhere in the linked article: "2.5" "similar"

There is more than one study on the topic. But you can just take a look at the graphs.

Take a look at the "Programming effort" graph and the "Program length" graph.
