That's only true if you never reuse Math.max. I believe the philosophy the OP is espousing is to write a few point-ful funcitons when necessary and then make the bulk of your business logic be recombinations of those in a point-free way, rather than redoing the points at every function the whole program wide. I will agree it is a big loss of readability for someone who's not used to reading programs that are written like that. And that includes me. But I have faith it will get easier to read and eventually I will find it easier to read code written in that style than code written in the old style.
