Clojure tends not to guarantee any particular behavior for invalid inputs. It might return an error, or it might give back a spurious answer. Most likely, the code for max just has a case that if it is only passed a single input, then that is the answer. No error checking is performed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
