Are we really going to discuss this again?

I found one study[1] which concludes that unit tests are not enough to reveal all errors which would be revelead when using a statically typed language.

Isn't it why Python guys are trying to use more annotations? To patch it with some sort of semi-decent static analysis?

A small number of Python guys are trying to use more annotations for a sort of closer-to-staticly-typed Python. It's certainly not universal, or even a majority of developers.
