What Martin needs to bear in mind is that the distinguished select method exists alone in one (singularly-named) variable, hence it is exactly one list. Other select methods are contained collectively in another (plurally-named) variable, gnus-secondary- select-methods, and it is therefore a list of lists -- so if it contains a single such method, the list-enclosing parentheses must in turn be encased in another pair of parentheses, within which other such method lists might appear.
