this one isn't wrong - I don't actually need to make arguments supporting
that fact.  The underlying point, though, is the ability for types to be
converted between one another is a property of the type itself and not any

In any case - if you wish to turn this into a discussion I'd recommend
putting together a more detailed argument and posting in on
