:-)

I believe OP rather wanted to test for existence of the same method in
the superclass.  Although I have to say I am not 100% sure what he's
after since the testing without instance seems strange.

An alternative would be to invoke it and rescue NoMethodError.
Another route would be to use instance_method but that might be
fragile.

Kind regards
