I believe you. However, the current Dialyzer/Dialyxir experience bad enough that the creator of Elixir is working on an effort to specify an entirely different† gradual typing system for the language:

This strongly suggests that Dialyxir is not working as effectively for most users as e.g. Typescript or Mypy.

† I can imagine people quibbling with 'entirely different', but the proposed type system does have a new(ish) theoretical basis that's still the subject of active research.
