I'm not sure that those links completely show that you're wrong. The example you're replying to appears deeper than it is because each nested element is quite broad, so the absolute depth is not as much as it might seem (I think).

Agreed, there are listings, but even they are not always just a flat unary tree. For instance, there's the structure within the listing of:

    (no ((local prejudices) or (attachments))
     no (separate views)
     nor (party animosities))
which is itself embedded within

    ... will misdirect ...
    as on one side ... so, on another, ...
    etc.
