Well, not so clear...

First of all, dialyzer never promised to complain about contract 
violations; instead, all it promised is that when it does complain, it 
has every right to do so.

Second, the no_spec_dude module that defines the callback, defines a 
callback with success typing: hey_dude(any()) -> string() which does not 
violate the callback spec.  True, there is some other module that passes 
an integer() argument there, but this is not a violation of the 
definition of the callback function.
