"I don't think it's ever a good idea to tell someone they are divorced by reality :)" My statement was about the claim and about me - I meant to express (colorfully) the distance between the claim and my experience. I did not intend to cast aspersions on the claimant; I certainly apologize if I caused offense, though you seem to have taken it in good spirits regardless :) Back to the topic at hand: It sounds like you probably do consider a substantially narrower class of things "type errors" than I do. It is quite rare that I mix up arguments to a function. More commonly I see bad assumptions about the contents of a map, which is often a type error. The most common form of exception I see in Sentry seems to be "NoneType object has no attribute...", which is always a type error.
