Huh! That's given me a lot of insight into why I've had to argue about typing in the past. Thanks for encapsulating that for me.
I've had teammates "agree" and use types only to use the most basic possible types and then confuse themselves later (like, days later). But to me, because I like static typing, it comes very naturally to define types based on business logic, which makes things very easy to work with. And they're just not thinking in that way. Now I wonder how I can bring them around.
