The verbosity is a direct effect of the several discussions I've had over the years on this topic. It has actually had a number of words removal and paragraph revival passes done on it.
It helped me to understand what is going on. I think I've been hung up on functor sounding like a noun for a long time. I thought there was some extra magic I wasn't getting that made it into a noun. The verbosity helped me a lot.
I found that section really helpful. I've been writing Haskell (on and off) for years but I hadn't realised that the noun thing had created a sort of mental speedbump, which is now gone.
That's fair, and I hope that I didn't come across too harsh in my comment. I elided a paragraph of praise I thought was redundant to my first few sentences.
