It's just a function in a different, less observable category. That's not the worst thing. And, of course, I'd like to argue for "pure FP" too.

Really, I just want to sidestep the argument that is appearing all over this post: that "FP" is also this, and this, and this.

Sure. FP is terrifically poorly defined. The definition used in the article is rather more specific than what most people would say. But it has merits and should be discussed. Let's just not stumble over naming difficulties to do so.
