@amszmidt I might have garbled it, but he was talking about structured programming. So when the data structure being operated on is a cons cell, use car and cdr, and when the data structure being operated on is a list, use list functions like first and last (for example, but also consider something like subseq). I'm open to not necessarily agreeing with Allen's book (for undergraduates).
