  • For context I’m a scientist doing data analysis and modeling, so my view point is potentially significantly different than most of “the industry”.

    Isn’t most of science also rather big on types, only they use the phrase “units”? If you take an attitude of “I never bother checking my units, I just see if it works or not after the fact”, that’s rather different from the science I learned where checking the types of calculations was considered an important step.

    At some levels it’s even just like colour-coding your wires, helping you not accidentally put ground in the wrong part of the circuit.
