You can wrap parentheses around anything and call it Lisp, but I specified Common Lisp and pg's article clearly wasn't contemplating anything like Shen. Surface syntax is near irrelevant though.

I feel you're now contradicting your own statements now. You said: "[maybe] Lisp is just another Blub", but when pointed out that Lisp (and Lispers) is evolving, you're saying "pg clearly meant [the other Lisp]"...
Of course we're not talking about "parenthesis". Clojure even added square brackets for arguments and destructuring, it's not about the syntax, I agree on that.
Last I checked, both of these were built on top of Common Lisp/SBCL.
