It doesn't work for those selectors: bang symbol

Why do you say it doesn't work for list?
because it doesn't.
Well, if you send the message "list 7" to [symbol] it will output "symbol list," when, according to all_about_data_types.pd, it ought to output "symbol float." Other than this, are there instances where [symbol] doesn't work correctly with lists?
As far as I can tell you just need [route bang
symbol], two message boxes, and a [symbol] object. There's no need to protect the message boxes because whatever is coming out of inlet 0 and 1 of [route] is either a bang or a symbol, both of which will trigger the msg box's output without changing its content.
You are right, two [b] are extraneous. You still need [b] to protect msgbox «symbol list» from [route list].
In light of what I wrote above, you'd actually need [route bang symbol float] to correctly convert lists with one float element.
