You're full of it. You're advocating for an unnecessary cast that can actually hide real errors later whenever the code evolves in any way, and now you say that the world can change. The main difference between you and Theo is that Theo knows what he's talking about. Unnecessary casts to silence stupid warnings have always been a plague that leads to large bugs and big security issues.
