I really should adopt this view in my future posts.
I think the difference is most people, myself included, are looking at basically the syntax as where the capital letter and the sentence ending punctuation go. Which is really the only mostly constant thing in most sentences. You raise a vital point that that is a small part of the syntactic makeup of a sentence.
Which is funny, because so many people are convinced you get no static help in lisp. Which is demonstrably wrong.
