This is of course true for Scheme programs. 

TST (The Scheme Type) is one of: 
 -- Number 
 -- Char 
 -- Symbol 
 ...
 -- TST -> TST 
 -- TST TST -> TST 
 ...

Then fact is that each expression has type TST. 

RealWorldHaskell is probably good at explaining how to use the language to count sheep. 
Your quotes suggest that these people haven't studied PL.
