I think your summary is less useful than reading the whole article. Teaching well involves more than just stating a refined idea.

I also think the ideas in the article are worth the 25 minutes.

Teaching also involves stating an idea - which the author forgot to actually do. If it is your article that I am criticizing, I'm sorry for being crass, but make no mistake, the writing is half-assed. An article whose primary piece of advice is to "focus on the datatypes", shouldn't avoid the word "datatype" until the 2nd to last header.

Truthfully, the article would be better served by removing the first and 2nd to last section and instead be titled "Why I dislike working with monads in languages that support monads."

Okay. I don't really want to keep arguing about this. Your negativity seems entirely unwarranted, so I'm not really sure what you're trying to achieve. Given the only thing I wanted to say is "this article is worth reading", I don't think there's a productive line for this conversation to go down.
