I suspect (but cannot prove) that some peoples' brains are wired such that static types fit them better, and other peoples' brains are wired such that dynamic types fit them better.
I suspect the same about procedural vs. functional programming.
And I suspect that's why discussions about them wind up the way they do. It's just obvious which one is better - to you. It's so obvious that it doesn't even seem to need proof. And therefore it seems that everyone who sees it differently must be ignorant, an idiot, or a troll.
