cannot run hello-param.cwl unless --non-strict

What's going on with --strict mode, please? Please find my example below

When --restrict is on by default

$ cwl-runner  hello-param.cwl#main params.json

Turn off --strict with --non-strict

$ cwl-runner --non-strict  hello-param.cwl#main params.json
