In other words, the type of an assembly instruction specifies its effects and coeffects. This is an active research area—describing effects and coeffects in the type system, and discharging handler/provider obligations at the compiler level.

I suspect the main reason someone might quibble over the “assembly is typed” assertion is that many programmers have a rather narrow view of type systems, heavily skewed by OOP patterns.
