To me these two seems to be always equal. Then why bother putting dynamic type information into interface type? Since it can be obtained from dynamic value.

The answer to your question is in my answer to this question: [Hiding nil values, understanding why golang fails here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29138591/hiding-nil-values-understanding-why-golang-fails-here) – icza Jun 16 '16 at 06:11
Often you only have a `reflect.Value` to work with, and you need the `reflect.Type`. – JimB Jun 16 '16 at 13:31
