If this would be the first time I came across parametricity, I wouldn't understand what it means.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parametricity
In programming language theory, parametricity is an abstract uniformity property enjoyed by parametrically polymorphic functions, which captures the intuition that all instances of a polymorphic function act the same way.
That is, a function with the type signature a -> a has only one implementation: it can only return its input. In a similar fashion, a -> b -> a will only return the first argument and ignore the second. And so on.
