People argue this, but not people who know what a monad is.

Care to clarify, or do you prefer just telling people they're wrong? The linked article is on the surface convincing, but I have never touched Haskell

I've spent more time explaining monads to HN than I have anything else. It comes up at least twice a day and I am tired of writing an explanation twice a day.

Go read the Typeclassopedia.
