Is duck-typing misnamed?

"If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck,... "
so there is indeed precedence for this so-called 'duck typing'
but wouldn't it be more Pythonic to call this 'witch typing'?
"How do you know she is a witch?"
"She looks like one."
etc.
I do grant that ultimately, the duck does come into play, since the witch
weighs the same as a duck.
