Subject: Why does `source .bashrc` complain "command not found"?

Is it just me or is this something that just cant be done?

Ive found out that whenever system calls are made they open a child
shell process. And as soon as that call is finished the child shell is
closed and any changes that were made to the environment are lost with
it.

But i should still be able to execute source .bashrc (even though the
changes will be lost as soon as that call finishes). Instead I get
command not found. How come?
