I also get the impression that some people view using dynamically typed languages as a badge of honor, taking more expertise to harness the greater 'expressive' power, all whilst juggling the types in your head. Bad programmers can't use them properly, but if you're one of the good ones then you're not held back by rigid types.

I'm one of the dumb ones and just let the computer do the checking for me.
