> monads, "just"

I think that line is usually quoting a popular joke from a comedic tour of various programming languages, and "just" is appropriate.

> A monad is just a monoid in the category of endofunctors. What's the problem?

[gghh]

I see. It was the first sentence that came to mind. The point I'm trying to make is, in my experience, "just" is often abused, as it conveniently relieves one from providing a sound argument.

Totally agreed. Your other examples were spot-on, and the general sentiment also makes sense to me.
