I don't think anyone said that it's important what
types the arguments are or whether arguments of
different types are used in the examples.

I suggested that we show correspondence between use
of a string spec and a Lisp sexp, and do so with the
use of more than one arg (so "\n" in the string spec).

Martin has not answered wrt whether he thinks doing
this would have helped him understand better.

Apparently he did not initially understand this well.
You asked him to say what parts he didn't understand
well.  I made a suggestion, guessing that it might
help.

I don't choose to argue with you about this.  Just
trying to help.
