Inheritance and overloading can get really tough, while one can use linq without reading a line about it.

an example:

class DBException: Exception{}
void Handle(Exception e){ log("Exception handled"); }
void Handle(DBException e){ log("DBException handled"); }
Handle(null); // which method is called?

Can you expect this level of expertise from an average codemonkey?

BTW we found this pattern in our code.
