Since methods are bound to a certain evaluation context (ie the object
aka self), isn't that statement slightly simplicistic in that it
suggests a unidirectional relationship? The word "have" would IMHO
better reflect the reciprocal dependency. But English isn't my mother
tongue and maybe I got certain details wrong.
