You'd have to call the Java variant via reflection to show the difference at runtime, as the compiler would already enforce that myList.add(new Object()) won't compile. The point stands, though.

Reflection is not required. I actually had the code, somehow got deleted List myList = new ArrayList<String>(); myList.add(new Object()); this would compile.
