Might be obvious to you and other FPers, but when you're trying to teach FP to programmers who may only "sort of" or "not at all" grasp FP and spend most of their daily life writing CRUD business logic apps for a living but WANT to learn more about FP in order to be better programmers then it's totally useless. I found the other example immediately more understandable - even though I personally understood the content I sympathize with the people who are struggling. The FP community needs to take the academic context out of a lot of its teaching mechanisms.
