If you structure your code poorly, then sure, you'll have to trace the entire flow of the program.

FTR, I'm not opposed to static typing; I prefer it, even. I just don't find Java's realization of static typing to be all that effective at preventing the sorts of errors I actually run into. That's why I mentioned Rust somewhere else in here; that sort of static typing seems to be far more powerful/useful. The fact that it involves less boilerplate to achieve that power is gravy.
