The point is that you can get the warnings without having to deal with a strict type system all the time.

Warnings are just noise, so there's no point in printing them--they will be ignored (maybe not when there is a singular warning, but if warnings are allowed to accumulate beyond some manageable threshold). If a warning is worth printing, it should be treated as an error, and if you treat it as an error, you now are "strict" by definition.
