Absolutely. Slava Pestov on the matter:

"I'm usually a strong proponent of the rule of law, innocent until proven guilty, and so on, but I strongly believe that anybody who writes an article about functional programming where the only example given is 'factorial' (or 'fibonacci' for that matter) should be summarily executed, no exceptions."

i know.. at the very least i was hoping to see lots of stats on things like adoptions by companies or heavy usage in critical projects with high visibility... all i got was factorial!!
