Are you really that short on people to disagree with?

In this particular branch of this thread, we were discussing George's 
objection that it would be ridiculous for a type system to check that a 
variable should be greater than 18.  There is no such thing as placing 
too much emphasis on what we were actually discussing.  If you want to 
discuss something else, feel free to post about it.  Why does it bother 
you that I'm considering George's point?
