Really, my reason for saying I wouldn't learn anything is because I personally learn better from concrete examples. That's why I like the RWH chapter. It gives you knowledge of how GHC represents your program, and helps you use that to change your program accordingly. Perhaps I should have reserved my criticism for the end of the series. Hopefully you will show us how to apply your model to our real programs. For instance, I think it would be neat to have a simple example of, say, folding a list. Show us what happens when we make a field strict. Show why `True || undefined` doesn't blow up. Just some suggestions.
I agree with you on the wikibooks article. I included it so someone reading my comment would have a place to go for the rest of the story that RWH doesn't talk about.
(By the way you might want to reformat your links, HN seems to have misinterpreted them.)
