Yes, that's my point, too. I'm not sure what you're arguing with.

That you don't understand even the most trivial snippet in the code base is only a point in my favor. You're picking beef with an irrelevant detail and confusing it for disagreement.

Remember, I was replying to someone who is trying to show that Haskell isn't so hard once you break down a snippet. I pointed out that the snippet was the most trivial selection they could have picked, that the rest of the code is even harder so it's not a very big consolation. You chimed in that even the simplest snippet was still alien to you.

That's not what I was trying to show, and I'm not sure how you got that sense. I was trying to show that even the most simple snippet requires a lot of background knowledge to understand.
