Quality Maniac: Hearthstone logical rule issue, Freeze vs. Windfury

Ok so this is a tool tip bug. Because while it is not hard to get what is happening in the game based on the animations and so on.
 If I was to play Hearthstone for the first time IRL with cards. I would read the Freeze ruling and then the Frozen status on a character as it can't attack once, but what about windfury it gives 2 attacks?


Freeze says that Frozen character lose their next attack.



Windfury says can attack twice each turn.

If this 2 effects would be on the same character.
 That should result in the character having 1 attack.

1 -1 + 1 = 1.


This however is not how the game acts it out.
 So its another bad wording issue in Hearthstone

Freeze tool tip should be changed from:

Frozen characters lose their next attack

to

Frozen characters cannot attack


Cannot versus next implies a huge difference.
