Strong typing can be a crutch for bad programmers in the same way that a prosthetic leg can be a crutch for an amputee.

The world record 100m men's sprint for double-leg-below-the-knee amputees is now frozen at 10.57s (record set in 2013); omitting Usain Bolt who is clearly freakishly good even among world-class sprinters, the 100m world record is 9.74s.

I am very happy to use strong static type systems.
