>Your argument does make sense for teaching an intro to programming type class, where it may not be obvious what is a function name versus variable name.

Yea but the truth is a huge of audience of people who are not super familiar with the syntax of a languague will read tutorials describing how to build stuff in that language hoping they can piece things together. So for them it would be helpful.

Also, isn't all of programming just playing with types in a way? I feel like Intro to types never stops lol.
