This completely misses what laziness gives Haskell – it gives a way of completing a smaller number of computations than it otherwise would have to at run time. The hope being that this speeds up the calculation of the result after the overhead of laziness is taken into account. This is not what laziness gives us. Rather, it gives us terminating
