Right, it's not just syntactic sugar, it's also the type system, and it may also touch on the run-time system. I think we've been in violent agreement from the beginning but I just didn't realise it. I interpreted your language as being somewhat combative and that put me on the defensive.

Internet culture -- at least in forums such as this -- rewards texts with emotional content more than those devoid of it. As there are many texts breathlessly extolling the virtues of monads, I had to offset that a bit ;)
