   Well, yeah, in this case that's a joke I guess.

   Map isn't really hard.  You're doing something with each element of a 
list (in an expression or code block where $_ is set to each element of 
the list) and it returns a list of the results.  You can always code a 
for loop instead, the map is just more concise.
