> They get confused when they do exactly the code I put, or similarly in a DOM event handler. Well, they're trying to operate on some thing, but they're not passing in that thing to operate on. (And usually while telling themselves that this jibes with FP, for some reason.) In fact, they're trying really hard to avoid explicitly passing in the thing they want to do something with. And they still want it to work the right way. Are the expectations reasonable?
