If you can agree that (> a b) makes easy sense, that a is greater than b (it's the same symbol as a > b, just in a different place), then I don't see how that's

If you can agree that (> a b) makes easy sense, that a is greater than b (it's the same symbol as a > b, just in a different place), then I don't see how that's any more difficult than (> a b c), which means that b is also greater than c. But then I've been staring at lisp code for years.
