  Half the article and a large part of the video is about this. It's not a throwaway sentence or minor point.

    The point is about not getting provoked (or at least, not writing tedious things about how provoked you got in HN threads), not the size of the alleged provocation.

  The video is a major part about this very point. This isn't some minor little bit, they clearly think this is some major advantage that Common Lisp has, which is ridiculous.

    Ok. Please forgive me for assuming that that couldn't possibly be the case!
