Yes, you are absolutely right.
By the way, this is not "the" tutorial, it is just one particular
tutorial (and a very old one at that). Yes, I know its URL is
haskell.org/tutorial, that is a historical accident rather than a
blessing of canonicity.
I am not sure who has access to the website to be able to fix it.
