IRL the specification often dictates the complexity. If your code fails to 
satisfy the spec then it is wrong. Are you saying that Haskell code can never 
satisfy any such specification?

Given that the set of computers with unbounded time and space is empty, is it 
not fruitless to discuss its properties?
