This is a great point.

One more: Debugging `.map()` is also much harder than a for loop.

I feel there are a few ways to invoke .map() in a readable way and many ways that make the code flow needlessly indirect.

Should be a judgment call, and the author needs to be used to doing both looping and mapping constructs, so that they are unafraid of the bit of extra typing needed for the loop.
