Riddle me this then: When editing code full of parentheticals, why do devs find it helpful that IDEs can find and highlight the matching opening/closing parenthesis automatically? I mean, based on your logic, parenthesis just don't make things any easier, right? I'll leave the topic of "indentation" completely off the table too, because a single riddle is enough.
The parenthesis in LISP make it dramatically easier to deal with than RPN; and I don't believe for a millisecond that you objectively disagree with that fact.
