Laziness is just one way you'd see that issue crop up. It's merely an example of the dangers of functional programming in a language with side effects. When you compose functions, you have to be very careful that they either 1) have no effects, or 2) have very predictable and controlled effects. This isn't a problem you can have in a purely functional language, because it's a compilation error.

Also, it's not an argument against laziness. Laziness is fine in a purely functional language. It's one of the things that makes Haskell so pleasant.
