Given that TeX is one of the more successful applications out there,
you might want to point us unwashed masses to the great successes
programmed in Lisp by geniuses like yourself.

Another point for you to ponder: that Knuth of questionable
smartness actually pays money for every bug found in TeX although he
blatantly confirmed Greenspun's most important law. How can that be?
Could you afford to pay $327.68 for every bug found in your glorious
software?
