To be specific, I was talking only of a specific sort of errors that the JIT compiler allows e.g. applying numerical operators to strings, or combinations of string and int.
Issues with null are much more common.
In a dynamically-typed codebase, it's near impossible to have rare type-error occurrence because you're off-loading the type system into into the programmers head (which is subject to human fallibility - even when countered with excellent unit testing!)
