You were asked for the exact error message, not an approximation.  Given
that input I'd have expected all the arguments to show as "unknown" in
the error message, because none of them have well-defined types.

Since that's the default anyway, adding it won't help you.  I suspect
you need to be looking for more prosaic issues, like whether the function
name is spelled correctly.
