The point is that "easier to understand" is, in these cases, subjective enough, and entirely dependant on prior experience enough, to be absolutely meaningless.

I was referring to the semantics being easier to understand. Whether Lisp syntax is easier or harder to understand than C syntax is just not a place we should go.

All programming languages look more or less like words interspersed with line noise if you're not familiar with the syntax.
