Lisp's problem is that almost nobody plays with it, but they know that it's that language that relies a lot on parentheses. When they do rarely come across the odd example it is full of unfamiliar symbols: car, labels, mapcan, assoc, setf and so on. Depending on the code, it's possible that not a single thing means anything to even be able to guess.
