Indeed, that's the whole point of inversion of control, is pulling the control out of the caller and into the callee. That's the primary reasoning benefit of functional programming.

I see no benefit to that. It makes more work for the caller. I want that function to do something for me and I want the leadt amount of unnecessary work on my side. Just like a good boss who delegates.

That's why not everyone's a functional programmer. :)
