The authors of the following Wikipedia article seem to know. They give
examples and link to further material.

I would add an informal link to stackoverflow, it has been asked and answered several

You must have misunderstood your lemma. Otherwise you would not have answered.

It's more of a maxim, really. In any case, I doubt old Witters had
monads in mind with it.
