Oh I'm not disagreeing with the logic, it's just that our industry moves as a herd, if there aren't large orgs doing it it's hard to justify to manager types.
Manager types barely tolerate literate programmers, let alone someone who can make something that a mouth breathing moron can't understand.

C has all these problems as do C++, Java, Python, Ruby.
Google (ITA Software) is not large enough.
If one needs a large organization for a Lisp program, then something is wrong.
