I can't disagree with the way you put this. I also understand the purist 
"you are smart, its up to you" sentiment.
But its not uncommon to get these questions. And yes I sometimes think 
"why are they asking this question? They
must be bright enough to know why the info isn't there". Sometimes you 
can tell the developer is inexperienced, but
other times you know they are experienced and for some reason they are 
confused by such issues.I think this
often the disconnect between languages with concrete type info and the 
more flexible languages.
