Why are we asserting string?

[haylinmoore]

Why does each function have assert string at the top of it? We are already using typescript so nobody will be able to pass non string variables for validation.

Someone could easily apply // @ts-ignore above the function call to bypass the typechecking and break the program.

If someone uses tsignore that's their fault imo

@hamptonmoore @SuperC03 Could you please make a PR to delete it? Thanks!
