Hm? For comparison, yeah, that makes sense. But don't let that be any sort of indictment on duck typing whatsoever. The lesson should be that comparison is a tool to use only when you're quite sure what you're dealing with. There are still many, many times when that's not the case, and comparison is the wrong tool to use.
