Maybe it has something to do with method_missing. I suspect object es has 
a private method #y which requires one argument. This is the one 
es.send(:y) calls (as it can call private methods). However when you call 
the method as just es.y, it is not found and method_missing is called 
which happens to handle y as a method with no arguments.
