Forthers generally have a strange metric for "simplicity". What's new?

In this case, there's probably no benefit. But a proper 21st century 
Forth ought to have more potential. Other language families evolve, spin 
off new languages, and ultimately produce *oceans* of code. Besides, why 
would a 21st century Forth break a few buckets of old code? *You're* 
certainly not going to abandon Forth '94! It's a false dilemma.

History teaches that logical consistency is neither sufficient nor 
necessary to establish practical, real world truth. Those who attempt to 
use logic for that purpose are abusing it.
