What a hilariously wrong headline. It should have said strongly-typed lisp.

Which is still less type-safe than a dynamically typed lisp. In every lisp every value carries its strong type with it. In a typed lisp you rely on the compiler to not exploit weak casts, in a dynamically typed lisp there are no such loopholes possible.
