So shall we require checking for matching type of first? It doesn't seem like an improvement to me.

Should a list ever equal seven? Should a float equal a socket? Some comparisons just don't make sense.

No.

The comparison makes enough sense to me to determine the result.

Even if the result makes some kind of sense, 99% of the time it will be an error in programming and therefore not be useful or safe to continue.
