I don't think that's really true in the Haskell community. I've seen lots of self-criticism of Haskell on /r/haskell. Even SPJ himself is willing to admit that Haskell has design mistakes.

Some things Haskellers readily admit as issues with Haskell:

- the String type

- records

- laziness (more contentious, but many people agree that this might not have been the right choice)

- error messages

- the prelude

Essentially, my experience has been that Haskellers are willing to accept that Haskell is not perfect.

Indeed, the Haskell community is very self critical, much to its credit.
