Then let me re-formulate it in other words:

I think you do not yet fully appreciate the key point concerning the 
monadic approach.

Or in still other words: could you please show me a piece of haskell 
code that uses monads but is not referentially transparent (assuming you 
do not use "unofficial" features such as, in particular, unsafePerformIO)?

What I want to see in particular is a few lines of haskell, where X=Y 
holds, but the semantics of the program change if I substitute the 
definition of X with that of Y.
