   You are confusing the concept of a list with the common-lisp "list" type.

   A list as talked about by humans is an aggregate data-structure
   composed of multiple primitive objects.

We are talking about the acceptable args for a function.  Hence, only
the data type is relevant.  How humans think of the args they pass is
completely irrelevant.  The function has no way to guess that anyway.
