Like I said, I appreciate Clojure and I took the comment as someone's expression of enthusiasm for the language. Part of the design rationale for Clojure is to improve the lives of Java programmers and Common Lisp isn't usually a viable option in such a context and hence there's less justification for a comprehensive analysis of its features. If someone is more or less committed to the JVM, the numerical sophistication of Common Lisp doesn't change the criteria for choosing a language very much, if at all. Like a lot of things, it depends on context.
