For reasons unconnected with Forth or this Usenet group, I was musing on the
behaviour sometimes known as 'cutting off your nose to spite your face'.
I came across this nice alternative way of thinking about it:
"Valuing being right over being effective"
I wonder - is this something you ever trip up on? Why might you choose to
change this? How would you know if you had discretion or 'agency' about this?
Regards, J^n

act - the merit and risks of which only you can decide. Moore only ever took
potshots at ANS after leaving. He made no attempt to sink it - something he
couldn't achieve anyway given its following.
