I won't ask why, because I won't understand any more than last time I read it.
Let me try a longer explanation anyways. You may think, that [sonofa( is a symbol-message, however it isn't. As Moritz wrote [symbol sonofa( would be a symbol message that [add $1( can deal with correctly.
Wow, thanks, this does make sense now. I still don't grasp why and when Pd seems to arbitrarily insert the word "symbol" or "list" instead of treating the symbol as a meta-message...
