I am not sure I understand the conclusion you wanted to draw from the example.
I thought I explicitly mentioned type families, which by definition
involve application of a non-contructor in operation position.  Again, I
might have missed the conclusion you wanted to draw.  Could you state it
in an unambiguous form?
