Some of it is just habit -- once you do something several times (like
casting, if you have been doing a bunch of Java work) you keep on
trying to do it even though it isn't correct anymore (once you revert
to Jython).  It happens to me a lot when I am translating code from
one to the other and I forget to make a change in a few places.
