"Let's be pragmatic." The self-declared licence to be imprecise, and basically start talking bullshit.

I find tracking side-effects so they don't bite me in the ass later very pragmatic. To do otherwise rules out too many use cases.

Amusingly, this sentence was deployed on me an hour ago, in relation to being pragmatic by not tracking effects. Ah pragmatism.

I figured that was where you were coming from, hence my attempt at a counter-argument, which ill-fits into 140 characters.
