I agree that 'magic code' and obfuscation is pretty much ego stroking, but this doesn't seem like a good argument against the whole idea of using weakly typed languages.
No I was not arguing against weak typing, just taking the opportunity to highlight how these kind of questions are used. I have no issue with weak typing. I don't get too dogmatic about such viewpoints. My comment was rather an attempt to highlight where a lot of this type of trivia knowledge is used and misapplied.
