Actual measurements. I don't think you should be surprised. Untyped Python code is a lot shorter and more concise than typed Python code. The easiest way by far to reduce the bug count is to reduce the lines of code.

  That's a good point I hadn't considered. where did you find these measurements?

      Maybe it's my daftness but where does this post say that typed Python has twice the number of bugs? It only seems to say that typed code takes longer to write and is longer. It doesn't seem to say that typed code has more bugs, nor does it compare typed Python with untyped Python.
