Logic and precedence rules are two different things. I know plenty of Haskell devs who frequently consult not just the precedence but also the associativity (right/left) or operators or functions when reading or writing their code. C++ also has a very long list of precedence rules. It's not trivial and many find the lack of these added complexities an advantage in the simple lisp syntax.

True, only if you haven't written much lisp.
I suspect you are trolling here, possibly, so maybe my feedback won't matter.
