I guess there are different ways of interpreting the plethora of
contributions such as the above. Maybe my I'm misunderstanding them.

Then I must have misunderstood them, too. Perhaps the author could
qualify his statement in light of the evidence brought to light, in
addition to the existence of technologies such as Psyco. The intention
may really have been to claim that even a sufficiently powerful type
inferencing mechanism, acting before run-time on very general code
which uses polymorphism extensively (roll out all those short code
snippets), won't produce significantly faster programs; but short and
snappy sweeping statements generally sacrifice meaningful
qualification for the sake of leaving an impression of higher
knowledge withheld from the inquiring masses.
