The problem is that you need to run the program to find problems with your types and 100% runtime coverage isn't exactly a common thing. How likely is something like this[1] in Python versus Haskell?

Static typing causes a whole category of defective programs to fail at parse-time instead of at an arbitrary moment in execution.
