sorry, but I'm not sure that the burden of proof is on him.
Furthermore, I don't think the whole "I hate everything you said and I
don't care a bit, but mayyybe if you're real nice you can try to
convince me" shtick takes us in a productive direction.
And as a last (and unrelated) point, I would say that embracing Lispy
things, reading SICP, (writing your own eval :), et cetera makes you
write better C programs even if you never touch Lisp again. Ignorance is
never an advantage, whatever you're ignorant of.
Being proud of it is just horrible.
Best regards,
Mate
