To continue the analogy, since I don't use enums, I'm also the person who isn't driving the car. Can you explain how owning a car without ABS and not driving it is less safe? Edit: Wait, or am I not using breaks? I think the analogy changed slightly during this whole process.

I don't know that it is, I'm speaking based on the implication in this thread that no-enum and no-ABS people are overconfident to a fault. I do believe that those who claim they don't need enums, static typing, etc are probably overconfident and have a strong desire or need to feel more control. I'm not sure though, at least for GC'd languages, how enums sacrifice control.
