Careful with that line of reasoning... some people make their living
collecting samples to artificially inseminate cattle, but you don't find
them bragging about it.

Still, you have a valid point.  Common Lisp (or anything) doesn't improve
when everyone says it's fine.  Unless it's already perfect, it is
necessary to acknowledge any shortcomings and work on them.

Much depends on how the criticism is presented - and whether it comes
with helpful ideas on how to fix it.
