I think you may be missing some terminology here. Strong typing is about whether entities have definite types and resist type coercion. Ad-hoc typing in dynamic languages can make this hard to see, but it's still there. What would prevent you from calling a function with invalid arguments would be static typing, which Python and Scheme do not have.
