It's not really science. You just have to accept that LISP/Scheme does
not have a programming language syntax.
It has a data representation syntax (specifically suited for
representing lists). And it represents programs in the form of data.
It also represents data in the form of data. The only difference is
that the former is getting evaluated after input, and quoting stops
evaluation.
