well, that's obviously wrong. There are so many examples where LISP code is LISP data. It's also just one example, a code for a theorem prover can also be LISP data. The whole idea of LISP is to be able to write interpreters, code transformations, rule engines, compilers as LISP applications which process code in the form of lists.
The idea of being a LIST PROCESSOR is not an implementation detail, it is the core essence of LISP.
