Not at all. There's not much to see here -- the minimal change would just remove a paragraph:

- As a somewhat peculiar side effect of @code{(a b . c)} and
-@code{(a . (b . c))} being equivalent, for consistency this means
-that if you replace @code{b} here with the empty sequence, then it
-follows that @code{(a . c)} and @code{(a . ( . c))} are equivalent,
-too. This also means that @code{( . c)} is equivalent to @code{c},
-but this is seldom used.
