This analogy is absolutely absurd and inappropriate on multiple levels. It reflects a parochial mindset that can't fathom contexts where dynamic type systems can be advantageous, such as a breadth of data processing applications. My favorite irony is how dynamic languages excel at concise translation between opposing type systems -- a very common data processing scenario.

You expand my comment to uses I had not envisioned. It was simply an analogy to correct the analogy of the OP comment.
