I see where you're coming from. I guess my argument comes from your statement in imperative you start from one step and keep on *thinking of next step* I'd argue that the thinking there is far more right brained that the thinking in functional programming. When I'm doing functional programming, the steps are large enough that there's usually only one step I can take which won't go off into a horribly wrong direction. With imperative programming, the steps are much simpler, but also much smaller, so I can't think of just one step at a time. Instead, I need to think ten steps ahead, which feels like the kind of pattern matching that the right brain does.
