I agree of course that there will always be situations where generics/expressiveness will be convenient. But my argument is about proportionality. I'd like to optimize for the 98% of the time spent, not the last 2%. It's like when people insists on buying an ultraportable laptop for work even though they'll never move it from their desk. - "But imagine how nice it will be that time I'll be on the train!".
