I think that Isaac's point in which he used those adjectives is that reasonable people can disagree what the most idiomatic code is for solving a problem that takes over 20 lines of code (and often even if it takes fewer lines of code than that). When you throw unreasonable people into the mix, the disagreements can only increase. If you wanted to create a collection of idiomatic Clojure programs for solving a particular set of problems, e.g. the Benchmarks Game problems, as soon as more than one person submitted a program and/or reviewed a program, there could arise arguments over which ones are idiomatic and which are not. If one person is maintaining the collection, they can make judgement calls on this, and/or keep multiple different submissions around to solve the same problem as all equally idiomatic, even though they use different code constructs to do it.
