Review Comment:
   I agree with Ryan's reasoning. Casting to `int` will throw a NPE because it 
will first cast it to `Integer` and then throw the NPE when doing 
`Integer.intValue()`. That being said, it's safer to always cast to the object 
type instead of the primitive in case the value can be null
