Why doesn't the K version include strings such as "That's very interesting. Do go on." ? Or the keywords?

The K version was offered when prompted, after Stevan first showed a Q version twice as long, so I guess the K version shared something mush like this from the Q version:

   D:(("1 father|mother|brother|sister 2";"tell me about your 0.");
  ("1 am|i'm 2";"why are you 2|have you always been 2?");
  ("1 i 2";"why do you 2?");
  ("1 you 2";"we're talking about you, not me.|please don't be so personal"))

  E:"|"vs"that's very interesting.  do go on.|
       tell me more|
       i'm not sure i understand you fully|
       can you elaborate on that?" 
I won't spam this further, see the thread winding down now on comp.lang.lisp.

Because, in K, "(w@" is a shortcut for "That's very interesting. Do go on."

and : is print. Well, I guess.
