Whether or not the brain has any inherent structure for "types" is irrelevant. Types are a mechanism for providing reasoning about the correctness of code. At the very least they are a notification to the compiler or interpreter as to the function (and possibly the correctness) of various operations.

And besides, we segment and type the world all the time. Its a natural behavior to define an instance of a object and to reason about that object in isolation.

A lot of these points are really short-sighted. The reasoning behind eliminating code-as-data (note, not really self-modifying code) has more to do with efficiency than with clarity.
