Hard to conceive of a case where that would occur. Can you think of one?
The implication of what you're saying seems to be that if you're concerned about some kind of correctness you should be writing unit tests anyway and not being so fussed about type checking in a language like Python. I suppose if you are strictly following TDD that might work, but in all other cases type checks give you feedback much more quickly than unit tests ever can. I guess I don't understand.

Any!
Then maybe the immediate feedback of consistent types conveys a false impression.
