Of course they are in denial. They feel that Forth is their god or their mommy--- above criticism. They are not at all rational or honest about Forth. And many of them are so simple-minded that they are incapable of learning a higher-level language such as Ruby, Awk, Python, Racket, or OCaml. So they have to use Forth for everything. Since Forth is what they are stuck with for the rest of their lives, they cannot bear to think that it is crude and highly flawed. Forth is their religion, and those who criticize it are infidels.
