note to reader:

although the above seems nuts, it uncovers a very sad truth: if a 
language-design misses a goal, don't worry.

simply redefine terminology and (if necessary) the goal - as it fits.

Ruby is not alone. That's what python does with the term "object", 
that's what ruby does with the meaning of "object".

And finally: who cares? it's all about people and all about fun.

Silence, Forged Id's, Attacks and... nonsense.

This is what remained from the friendly Ruby Community.

I hope you've found the insights valueable.
