Disregarding the article for a second, has anyone else had the pattern that "parse don't validate" makes sense in object oriented style, but less sense in functional style programming? Like parsing and validating blurs into each other.

In my experience it makes even more sense in functional programming languages, not less, since they usually also have more powerful type systems that help with actually representing parsed vs unparsed data.
