This also points to a situation that I sometimes find myself, where I try to be "clever" in solving a problem and, even if the solution works, is ultimately more confusing than the straightforward method. As I've maintained more code in my life, I've learned to shy away from being "clever", but it's always there in the back of my mind. I think this is one of the challenges of functional programming as well. It allows you to be really clever, to the point of unintelligibility.
