It is closer, but it doesn't matter for the argument being made.

You have some code that expect its argument to conform to some 
API. Be it dynamically typed code (which will blow up at runtime, 
or worse, do random shit) or template code (which will blow up at 
instanciation time, or worse, do random shit).

The problem being fundamentally the same, arguments going for or 
against one go for the other.
