"One" would be troublesome... Two is actually common, three is in the red zone, four you refactor. Except in specific cases where 4+ arguments doesn't cause stack juggling. Chuck Moore (inventor of Forth) said once that he don't use stack comments anymore. He claims that the arguments a definition takes should be obvious from the name or the definition (one-liners are common in Forth) or be documented somewhere else than in the code. Moore's claims are often bold and hardly believable. But when you put it to the test yourself, they sometimes do work for you too. This one does work for me. The answer to the "cognitive overload" argument is kind of trivial: "if it hurts, don't do it". The long answer is that concatenative languages have their idiomatic ways of doing things like any other language. Don't be stubborn; practice and embrace it.
