I like this one because it puts this endless dilemma in a human context. Most discussions are technical (static typing ease refactoring and safety, dynamic typing is easier to learn and better for interactive programming etc.) and ignore the users, the programmers.

Ill plug the "Design of Everyday Things" by Don Norman in case anyone in the thread hasn't read it. Its the classic text on design. You will never think about doors the same again.
