It’s meant to basically go “yeah, sure I’ll fuck with that” and keep trucking.

Nope, not falling for the gaslight. It's a stupid feature that's there because the language was created during a week and the author was trying to juggle the requirement of a rigid and typed semantics that looked like Java with his desire to make a flexible single-typed language that looks like Lisp.

And nobody fixed it, decades later, because everybody keeps repeating your line that the interpreter must always keep on.
