The exact opposite might be said from someone with a largely dynamic 
typing background.  "What I think is that so many people have [used] 
static typing for so long that it's hard to admit that perhaps
there's 
a benefit to [not relying on it].  Apparently there is too much 
invested in static typing to compromise."

That doesn't sound to me too far off the mark either.
