I don't want to be argumentative - its only a light hearted comment - but i did of course read the article. I just interpreted something differently to yourself.

I read it again, and the analogy is still there. Car is to dynamic typing as bicycle is to ... anyway ... you can play down its significance or ambiguity, but i'd need convincing that its not there at all.

Fair enough. I would play down the significance where you played it up. Considering the equanimitous tone of the whole article, it seems unfair---or, at least, ungenerous---to take him to task for a colorful, one-off analogy.
