Subject: 'Class.inherited' v. 'inherited' syntax inside Class

How come when you redefine the inherited method in Class, you don't use
the 'class method' syntax?  This doesn't work:

class Class
  def Class.inherited(class_obj)
    puts class_obj
    puts
  end
end


Instead, you have to write:

class Class
  def inherited(class_obj)
    puts class_obj
    puts

  end
end

Yet, in pickaxe2 on p. 445, the book lists inherited as a class method
of Class.  And, if I have a class like this:


class Dog
  def Dog.speak
    puts 'Woof'
  end
end

Dog.speak
-->Woof


and I want to redefine Dog.speak, I have to do this:

class Dog
  def Dog.speak
    puts 'yap yap'
  end
end

Dog.speak
-->yap yap
