This, of course, is a consistency, not a discrepancy, once you understand
arrays.

it might be nice to say "this discrepancy between single atoms and lists
composed of single atoms extends to the compression of higher dimensions
as
well. if you have a table and compress it down to a single row, it is
still a
2-dimension table and not the same as a 1-dimension list, as this example
shows:

    i. 3 4
0 1  2  3
4 5  6  7
8 9 10 11
   {. i. 3 4
0 1 2 3
   $ {. i. 3 4
4
   i. 1 4
0 1 2 3
   $ i. 1 4
1 4
