I don't think he means they enable cheating, I think he means they frustrate developers who then try and find ways around the type system. Types pissing you off, just declare everything object and cast when you need to. You're talking about leveraging the type system to help you, but that requires fully liking and understanding the type system, many devs don't understand the type systems they're forced to work with, don't understand how to leverage it, and don't like creating new types. Most devs have a primitive obsession and don't much create their own data types. |

To the extent this is true (it requires understanding, but not liking—tolerating enough to actually put the effort into use it well, sure) TDD is no different in this regard, it's just that even with that the best case guarantees it provides are weaker.
