I'm not going to play that game, if you can't think of an example of a dynamic language that's syntactically correct but fails at runtime due to name lookup issues, that's on you, but it doesn't change the validity of the point.

- pvg 10y agoYou're in an empty room with a light switch. GLaDOS says 'please turn on the light'. You flip the switch and the floor disappears, dropping you into a pool full of hungry gators. That doesn't make 'turn on the light' ambiguous.
