If he "fixes" ANS-Forth, then it's not compliant with the ANS Forth standard, and therefore not ANS-Forth ... So, obviously, ANS-Forth is unfixable. While that's true logically, at least to a warped pedant, it's also part of Hugh's self-reinforcing Forth perspective/delusion in regards to ANS being broken/biased/tainted/commercialized etc. I.e., the only thing one can do now in regards to ANS Forth clearly being so utterly broken is to complain so loudly to the Forth standard committee members that no will dare "destroy" the next version.
