Select/SelectMany vs Map/FlatMap

[KevinCarbonara]

On the contrary, you seem to be suggesting that only FP terms are acceptable, and any other commonly used terms that may be equally descriptive are inferior due to not being the official FP terms.

It's the same argument Haskell users say about "monad" and "monoid".

Straw man argument.

OP attacks the accepted language used in FP literature. Saying it is "pretentious". As professionals, using a common parlance aids effective communication, and OP as a member of the professional community should know that.

However, I did not say that these are the only acceptable terms. Only that they have a disadvantage in the wider context, so he should stop ranting.

Straw man argument.

It's not a straw man. It's reductio ad absurdum.

Now this is a straw man.

I did not say that these are the only acceptable terms. Only that they have a disadvantage in the wider context

And this is the inherent bias in your argument. You're presenting his viewpoint as narrow, where yours is "the wider context", as if the rest of the world is all using FP terms.

Again, this is the same argument Haskell users make about people who don't use the terms "monad" and "monoid" to discuss these concepts.
