Summary

SIM911 has a false positive if you give the methods args, since they are removed when it is transformed into .items(), which changes the behavior of the code to no longer raise a TypeError. If there is a situation in where the code thinks the variable is a dict, but it's actually the dict class, that could actually show up in non-constructed code. I was unable to find such a situation though. playground
