So a flawed paragraph in a manual written by who-knows-who is enough to put you off from an entire programming language?

No, that is just one example. The point is the stewards of this class of languages have, over the decades, never thought it wise to humanize the language despite no technological problem in doing so.

There is no need to set a high bar to filter a language from my attention. There are thousands of them.

Anyway, the point is that there are reasons to dislike LISP besides the parentheses. It's all subjective in the end.
