Subject: question about private method

In ruby FAQ :
The visibility keyword private makes a method callable only in a
function form, and so it can only have self as a receiver.
But,why i can't write like below?

class Test
  def func
    self.test   #use self
  end
  
  private
  def test
    p "test"
  end
end

t=Test.new
t.func   >>in `func': private method `test' called for
#<Test:0x2ac7318>NoMethodError)
