I am bringing up this point that there are tons of miserably tested Java/C++/etc applications because its a problem correlated with their usage, just like runtime type-errors correlate with dynamic languages. A fair comparison mentions both.

Of course a strong type system can drastically reduce the unit test coverage you need. But last time I checked, the strong type systems that allowed for this were all not used in our corporate code bases.
