Welcome to the world of Forth where everyone has an opinion and is
happy to share it!
One of the things about Forth is that it makes it not only possible,
but straight forward to do things in your own way and vastly different
from others. The result is that there are numerous splinters of
thought and it is hard to get any sort of consensus on pretty much
*any* topic.
I suggest that you don't try to nail it to the wall, since Forth is
jello and you'll just make a mess. Just take in what you can about it
and work with it to gain your own experience.
