Silliest pro dynamic typing argument to date

According to this paper (see in particular section 2.3) race conditions in multithreaded programs occur because of static typing. Dynamically typed systems are a cure for this, of course :-)

Section 2.2, we learn that having your method either handle exception RMIException, or statically declare it in its throws clause, leads to an abstraction leak. Does he realize that RMIException derives from RuntimeException, and as such does not need to be listed in the throws clause?

This, and many other hilarious fallacies (mainly if you tell the compiler that class A implements interface B, then you should be allowed to code only the part of B that you care to implement kind of stuff) makes for a good laugh.

By Grabthar's hammer, do dynamic weenies have any clue what they are talking about?

Unfortunately, this nonsense seems to emanate from a guy having some position (janitor apparently) in a known university, and presented in the standard format for academic papers, and so will be touted by Rubyist as academic proof of soundness for their beloved concepts.
