What distinction are you making between "learning monads" and "gaining an intuition for monads and memorizing the 3 monad laws"?

Continuing to use Haskell for practical things even though you may not totally understand monads. But besides that, yeah... same difference 😉

The distinction that memorizing 3 simple rules is not exactly a deep understanding of category theory.

I wasn't asking for any distinction from "a deep understanding of category theory". Neither "learning monads" nor "memorizing 3 rules and building intuition" stands a chance of being identical to that, though.
