As the one who made that accusation, my objection was specifically to
the word "always" - which was emphasized - and which is something that I
don't believe is actually a component of the test that is normally
applied. His words, specifically, were "a compelling argument needs to
be presented that the new spelling is *always* preferable to the
existing ones"

List comprehensions themselves aren't even always preferable to loops.
