I don't know why you were downvoted, but I agree with you 100%.

Pure functions are indeed a good target for modularity and deserve proper documention and proper testing, at the very least.

For the readers of this comment:

* How many functions did you not commented last time you wrote some code?

* How many functions do you leave untested?

* How many functions did you wrote more than once?

* How many "trivial" functions did you wrote that actually took you 3 hours, because it's actually tricky, so you checked other implementations and tried to wrap your mind around it.

Check haskell's hoogle to a small sample of this concept.
