The general case this article describes is a type being confused for another type. This happens to me all the time when programming with Python and Pandas, and somewhat less often in Elixir. The `+` operator in Python will concatenate sequences as well as add numbers together, and I have definitely forgotten to parse strings before adding them together before. This stuff happens all the time, people who prefer dynamic languages just don't see it as a problem.
