I couldn't agree more strongly. Something weird happens to FP proponents such that once they get very good at it, they lose all ability to explain or empathize with beginners. :)

One of the most frustrating thing about FP land is that I never feel confident I actually understand anything. Every time I think I might the explanation I arrive at is so damn simple that I can't convince myself it's truly correct because there's this mountain of confusing explanations in my wake, and why would anyone have tried to explain it that way if it were actually this simple?
