I guess; in the sense that it frees cognitive load from reasoning about properties of your program that are easily computed to think about properties that aren't. Even then, maybe thinking about the former primes you to reason about the latter. But even if the compiler tells you what the type of something should be, you ultimately have the synthesize something of that type.

think of the metric/imperial example above. The distance isn't just a number. Holds for most other things, too. Typed is key. Be it either static or dynamic.
