David Gudeman admonishes:
  You left off the context necessary to see that I was not claiming
  anything so stupid as the above.  The above reply is a complete
  non-sequiter.  Please read more carefully before you follow-up, David.

and on reviewing his article I see that he is right; he was not claiming
that static typing precluded runtime checks, he was drawing an analogy
between runtime typing and runtime checking.  I apologize.

I think it's a false analogy, which is why I misunderstood, but I do
apologize.  :-)
