Actually the pointless style does have a point - like all jargon, it shows that you're a member of the club, and can look down on those who don't understand it. In support of this, it deliberately confuses beginners by omitting the arguments that should be there according to the signature (this is a principle purpose of currying, to confuse beginners :-) ). I cheat - I use hlint, and write the pointless versions that it tells me I should write instead of the pointed version that I write.
