I have to really question how the study was conducted if only 1-2% of python errors were considered type errors. Even if the only type error you consider is None vs not None, you'd get more than that. Certainly those errors account for more than 1% of the errors I see in my own professional experience using Python. I'm curious what his reasoning was so I'll watch the talk, but there's something screwy there.

It's a good talk even if just to learn more about types. It's not even specifically about python. The result might be surprising, but those are the most interesting results! I note that, so far, nobody has countered this with any evidence, only anecdotes and "surely not!"
