So can you elaborate on what those design errors might be? And what exactly is the "concept of lisp"?

The concept of Lisp through its historic evolution refers to the set of ideas and implementation details that allows one to read a book about Lisp written 40 years ago and apply the same concepts through a language called Lisp today without any -major- changes. If that's not possible or involves substantial programming logic rewriting, the language should not be viewed as Lisp.
