Sure you can: just put some bugs in your code. Forget to convert an
input string into a number somewhere, before doing some maths on it?
Easy, peasy.

Hm, yeash, sounds like fun.
So, not using (safety 0), plus being careful when using (coerce) and
other functions that would bypass type safety.

Coerce doesn't bypass type safety, quite the opposite.

Ops, sorry. Right, coerce will give a value of exactly the type you
