I admit to a certain feeling surreality listening in on this exchange.
A blow-by-blow defence and repudiation of strong typing played out in the minutiae of Isabelle's reasoning mechanisms.
It is especially amusing as I would also find it useful to distinguish predicates from boolean-valued operators :-), using /\ ,\/ instead of cap,cup etc.
Surely Isabelle-HOL is a logic for those who believe in the value of strong typing and are willing to wear the need to use explicit type coercions?

Please chose exactly one list for your answers, to avoid crossposting and
