Liskov principal means a long can stand in for a int and teh caller will work unmodified w/ both. Given some conversion is required between the two and the bit patterns are different (eg byte -> double), there is no substitution there is only conversion. One needs different bytecode to do whatever with an int and all the other primitives ignoring boolean and other different/weird cases.
