Didn't you see my post?

class Foo
 def self.class_method_foo
 end

 def public_method_foo
 end
end

Foo.methods.include? "class_method_foo"   => true
Foo.methods.include? "public_method_foo"  => false



Also,

Mac-Mini:~ joevandyk$ irb
irb(main):001:0> Thread.methods.include? "alive?"
=> false
irb(main):002:0> Thread.methods.include? "current"
=> true
