I would explain it by quoting a few sentences from the dictionary
Execution proceeds from right to left, except that when a right
parenthesis is encountered... in an unparenthesized expression the right
argument of any verb is the result of the entire phrase to its right... The
executions in the stack are confined to the first four elements only
I would then suggest that the person read the dictionary:
http://www.jsoftware.com/help/dictionary/dicte.htm
And point to the pages on http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/fork
and http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Vocabulary/hook
And play with trace as Raul suggested
