The title contrasts the last paragraph. I believe the author means this to be true only in the CLR, F# specifically. > I strongly believe that using result types as a general-purpose error handling mechanism for F# applications should be considered harmful.

The F# language has been designed with exceptions in mind, and has achieved that goal very effectively.
