Here, the latest phrase https://tc39.github.io/ecma262/#sec-lexical-environments:


Lexical Environments and Environment Record values are purely specification mechanisms and need not correspond to any specific artefact of an ECMAScript implementation. It is impossible for an ECMAScript program to directly access or manipulate such values.


Shouldn't it end like this?


...It is possible for an ECMAScript program to directly access or manipulate such values.

An ECMAScript program (e.g. JavaScript running in the browser or Node.js) does not have introspection into environment records or lexical environments—e.g. user code cannot programmatically tell or modify the bindings that exist in a given environment record, there's no such API for that.
