Comment (by anevilyak):
Not necessarily, bear in mind dynamic_cast isn't only for checking type
validity ; depending on the structure of the classes in question and the
inheritance hierarchy involved, it may also adjust the 'this' pointer in
the process, so it's not interchangeable with static_cast except in simple
cases.
