! What is the difference between declaring something in a module versus declaring it in scratchpad?

! In scratchpad, I defined this:

: palindrome-num? ( x -- ? )
present palindrome? ;

1000 palindrome-num?
f

1001 palindrome-num?
t

! So, I defined the same thing in a module:

: palindrome-number? ( x -- ? )
present palindrome? ;

! scratchpad:

1000 palindrome-number?
t

1001 palindrome-number?
t

! Why would the two words return different results simply because of where they are defined?
