Thanks to those who suggested I look at simpler examples. Doing so lead me to determing why we get this unusual result.
arg=: 1 : 'u' % arg 4 0.25 I initially thought this was a second problem, but today I realized there is some level of simplicity where adverbs are evaluated when they shouldn't be. This happens whether or not the arguments are present. Arg=: 1 : 0 y 1!:3 [2 (5!:5 <'u') 1!:3 [2 0 0$'' ) + Arg |value error: y | y 1!:3[2 + Arg 'u =: ' |value error: y | y 1!:3[2 It turns out some conjunctions also have this problem. I have lots more testing methods and data than is appropriate to include here. If anyone is going to work on this, I'm happy to make my research available to them.
