FP advocates strike me the odd way that they trying to argue FP can reduce the intrinsic complexity of the problem itself, but they have no proof of it, or their 'proovies' are essentially faith.

This is not true at all.

This:

    #include<stdio.h>
    main()
    {
      int sum; int x; sum=0;
      for(x=1;x<=50;++x) 
      {
         sum = sum + x; 
      }
        printf(" 1+2+...+50=%d\n",sum);
      }

Is more cognitive load and error prone than this:

    (println (reduce + (range 1 50)))

This is mostly what experienced FP advocates tell you. Btw. you can transpile the latter to the former.
