Well, I really don't care to argue the issue, but I will say that I
personally prefer a technical solution (e.g. static types) to a management
solution (e.g. me reading everybody's code and smacking them with a 
Big Stick(tm) when they don't comply).

For the record, Objective C has the same problem.  If you look through
the library, method resolution is implemented using a runtime lookup.
It's basically C with an embedded interpreter.
