I guess you are referring to
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/Object.html#M000999

It never occurred to me that obj and obj must be the same object,
especially since the example shows differently.  I believe it is most
reasonable to expect to get back what the method returns.  Were you
actually misled into believing that you always get back the original
receiver?

Kind regards

robert
