Excellent stuff! I've replicated the experiment in Java and Ruby.
Some observations:
The "comfortable" order of the three-element-list tests seem to vary dependent on whether I aim for assignment or not.
I'm a also little unsure as to where the transformation from "return l" => "if ... return new list(...) etc" fits in the transformation priority. (unconditional->if)? It seems more complicated than that.
A priority list of transformations seems to be a nice way to provide a guide on how to deal with code complexity while solving a problem. I believe for dynamic programming problems the proposed list would not solve it with one of the best algorithms like it did for sorting. It might be a matter of choosing the right priority list for each track.
Awesome! I love this Uncle Bob comix format!

Really good ! What about hanoi towers problem ?
