Counterpoint:

The words he says are nice, and his depth of knowledge is profound, but he hasn't actually provided any evidence making the case that lisp is better and/or in what scenarios it is better.

That this sort of rhetoric is the way almost all programmers and language designers try to find truth and communicate ideas is probably why we ended up all programming in javascript. We have no rigor, we are like Freud era psychology with flowering and impressive sounding prose but no real data. And while psychology still has a long way to go, we have even further.
