It's not just about being smart. It's about overcomplicating things, making things harder to debug. Did he leave out unsigned types because he thought we weren't smart enough to cope with them? No, I'd say he left them out because it makes everything simpler. If a programmer wants an unsigned type, he can do it himself.
