My point was, having an actual example of data in front of you, instead of only definition of the structure/schema/interface/type of the data could push people more towards relying on things specific to that example. Especially in dynamically typed languages, but also for things like trying to take the first element of a list that might be empty, etc.

And I wonder whether someone observed that in practice.

I see what you were getting at now

I've not personally observed that, fwiw.
