I don't know why you're conflating using a type system with writing large classes.

  At question is whether the benefits of static typing outweigh their costs. From my experience (purely anecdotal) static typing provides a false sense of security that encourages bad practices, thus turning the benefits of types into costs themselves.

    To me, that sense of security is not false (even 90% reliable is better than 0%). And to suggest that type systems are a contributory factor to developers writing functions/classes that are too large is completely unsubstantiated.
