In his experience they add more complexity than they are worth. The reason he talks about it at all is there are a lot of static typing enthusiasts who talk about static typing being a game changer. In my experience static typing is a +-2-3% productivity influencer. You get a bit better IDE experience and refactoring is easier. On the other hand I've also found I need to refactor my C# code far more often than my Clojure code.
