Thanks for clarifying. I can see how it would be confusing for someone to be dropped into chapter 5 of the book with a section title like that. Common Lisp hackers may use "Lisp" colloquially as a shorthand for the language they're working with ("Common Lisp" is a bit of a mouthful, after all), but I don't think many of them are confused about the existence and nature of other lisps, or that they tend to disagree with academics on this.
