No I am expressing an argument not an opinion.

Nonsense, you have shown no evidence that they don't know what
they are doing when making a automatic conversion. You might as
well argue against the existence of var.
At best, is "let's catch early some bugs (caused by other
problems as Manu pointed out)".
He also pointed it is own class of problems, as it can be
replicated without ref.
Set of problems as automatic promotion or conversion, as
decades of problems with unsigned/signed have proved...
False Equivalence. We are not discussing numeric overflows here.
There's not a magic conversion between apples and oranges in a
foreach loop... ref value apart.
