The difference is no one is going to be adding on to the pyramids and even if they did the proper equipment could be used for the additional construction.

New functionality may need to be added to the existing program, strict can help in that department but you would need it for the entire program. Plus just becase a program works doesn't mean it doesn't have bugs that could be caught by adding strict

Everyone would be much better off if coders stopped writting code that "works" and instead started writting code that works well, scales, and is easy to maintain. Of course, since we are talking about humans, that's not too likely to happen soon :)
