No, not the bullet points, I mean like the part at the end that says:

« For this reason, writers who wish to write unambiguously about type
   systems often eschew the term "strong typing" in favor of specific
   expressions such as "static typing" or "type safety". »

However, after dealing with types that long, I've come to believe that 
"static typing" is vague too.
