Esperanto is X, Y, and Z. lojban is far from being [that] at the moment.

lojban is far from X, Y, AND Z.

lojban is far from X AND lojban is far from Y AND lojban is far from Z.
If that's not what you meant to communicate maybe you should try saying it in lojban next time ;)
Yes, we Lojbanists do tend to think lojbanically about logic - thata's actually why I titled my recent poll-thread "taxonomic .a descriptive" instead of "taxonomic or descriptive", because English "or" is equivalent to {.onai}.

You did, actually:
it's a fully defined, complete and functioning language, which
lojban is very far from being at the moment
"far from functioning" is very different from "incomplete".
"[Esperanto is] a fully defined, complete and functioning language, which
lojban is very far from being at the moment."
So what I *have* said about lojban, is that it's "far from being a fully defined, complete and functioning language", not just that it's "far from functioning".
I have to say that I'm disappointed and surprised at the same time at the irony of having my words so terribly misinterpreted and misunderstood by a lojban enthusiast.
