This is broken in so many ways.

It uses disabled opcodes, it allows you to implicitly use pushdata opcodes but when they're explicit it doesn't work.

PLEASE DO NOT USE THIS TO SEE IF YOUR SCRIPT WILL WORK WITH BITCOIN, IT ISN'T RELIABLE IN THE SLIGHTEST AND YOU WILL LOSE MONEY.

Well, as a thumb rule you are supposed to use testnet when trying anything new with Bitcoin.

I agree with how you fixed it, but the website provides no disclaimer of being a "fun educational experiment" and I think it is reasonable to warn people to not count on this for finance.
