Now I can finally articulate why: nil complects non-existence, false, and empty.
How does nil represent empty? '() does not equal nil.
It is also easy in the sense that it is more similar to what Lisp users (as opposed to Scheme) are used to from past experience. But it is decidedly less simple to have these ideas complected.
AFAIK, Common Lisp does treat nil and empty lists as equivalent. Looks like a clear difference, not "more similar" to me.
