I love Haskell, and I totally agree with you, but I don't think you're making much of a case to people who don't already know Haskell. I'm pretty sure everyone who doesn't grok Haskell reads your post and thinks "Ah there's another Haskell weirdo spouting some weird syntax incomprehensible code." So for them: What tel is saying is that in Haskell you annotate your functions with type information (and if you don't the compiler will generate the info for you), which gives you an immediate understanding of what moves into and out of a function, often making it easier to understand what a high level function does.
