This was more aimed at people who are new to the idea of parsing over validating. In a strong statically typed language, the type system would naturally guide you to use this approach so if this isn't natural to you then time in other languages would probably be worthwhile.

My misunderstanding then. Your comment came across (to me) as saying that people using dynamic language just don't know any better; that, if they would just learn a static language, they would suddenly understand the error of their ways. That's the thought that I was responding to.
