The dynamic type checking analogy of house building is eyeballing support dimensions and then rebuilding walls when they fall down. Fine for a shed, but if it's a building I'm living in I would like a structural engineer to do some calculations to check it's ok before I use it.

Maybe that's the difference between programming and software engineering! Engineers care if their stuff breaks.
