As far as I can tell, the argument is that allowing side effects inside functions allows programmers to make mistakes, and therefore "mostly functional" programming is broken. I'll happily extend this: "fully functional" programming does not work because I can define a mathematical function that divides by 0, and therefore does not work. I'd go a step further even: all programming does not work, because I can solve a problem in the wrong way if I make a mistake.
