In that case, 'b' does not have the right answer.  That was the reason

1. Unlist is unnecessary here (sapply automatically simplifies its result).
2. Why use all() with one-element vector (x[1])?

So I assume that what you meant is actually something like this:

sapply(lt, function(x) all(is.na(x)))
