Hello Raul;
The definition still looks odd to me. I can see the use of:
ts =: 6!:2,7!.2
which will distribute arguments properly, but
6!:2,7!.2&]
seems to parse as
6!:2,(7!:2&])
which looks like it would give a domain error (and it does), and
(6!:2,7!:2)&]
which also gives a domain error in the dyadic case.
Can you tell me what the URL is for Roger's comments on this in the
forum archives?

Is your definition of ts, which seems to ignore the left argument when used

You give me too much credit -- that was Roger Hui's definition
of ts.
That said, that definition does not ignore the left argument to 6!:2
and according to http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dx006.htm
[x] 6!:2 y Execute. Seconds to execute sentence y (mean of x times
with default once).
I hope this makes sense.
(And, I asked this same question, several years ago, and Roger
was kind enough to answer me back then -- despite the answer
being quite easy to look up, in retrospect.)
