I don't underestimate the human brain - however, I know as a fact, through ample empirical evidence, that implicit or dynamic typing makes my head hurt and has me scrambling through multiple code panes trying to understand the input or return types for code that I wrote five days ago.

I also know as a fact that programmers 100x my caliber have nevertheless written great large-scale software without types.

So I don't make generalizations on the human condition and just do what works for me!
