Because of the distribution behaviour? A param list {p1, p2, p3}
on the leftmost gets distributed over inlets {i1, i2, i3}. If you
sent a list to i2 then how would it map? p1->i2, p2->i3... 
No doubt you could make your object treat lists as you like,
but it would have to break this established behaviour I guess.
