You did not understand the POSIX standard :-(
The POSIX standard is a _source_ standard.
As long as the POSIX standard continues not to deal with PATH names
and as long as there is no agreement on a "pathless" way to reliably
system independently call the POSIX shell with #! and others, the POSIX
standard is what you need to blame.
