Want to hear some serious nerd bullshit? Monads, the hardest concept in all of computer science for anyone to understand are just the things between pipes monad | monad | monad | monad | no --really "But they're pipes with types!" "Oh, that's always a mess." "I KNOW!!!"
I teach programmers like yourself. I assure you it is not hard, except to the extent that these counter-productive metaphors and other distractions, deflect from the actual learning process. Simply stop believing the lies, and you're nearly done.

I completely agree, that (some) metaphors can/do confuse. Am reading up stuff myself, and the 'but why??' questions are often more intriguing, than the more mechanistic 'how'. Explaining away the 'why's (at the right time!) is where the value of a teacher comes in, I believe.
