I like the exception being raised their is no reason I should be passing in None to the function it means I've fucked up the value of whatever I'm passing in at some point.

Oh no a stray None! Take cover ...

Robust codebase should never fail from a stray None

Chaos testing is specifically geared towards bullet proofing code against unexpected param types including None.

The only exception is for private support function for type specific checking functions. Where it's obviously only for one type ever.

We live in clownworld, i'm a clown and keep the company of shit throwing monkeys.

Ur function args if fucked up should always throw an error that's the entire point of python type hints
