I always hear this: "statically typed languages make for more maintainable projects than dynamically typed languages."

Is there any empirical evidence to back this up?

COBOL was statically typed, and they've been maintaining those programs for decades!
What is wrong with those Common Lisp programs?)
If you are employed at a bank to manage a small team of Java coders, how could it be otherwise?)
