"owner of the unbound method" were your words. And there is no ambiguity 
as to what that is.  It is the class returned by the "owner" method of 
the UnboundMethod object, and it is in fact a class or a module that 
defines the method in question, not any instance.  You are rather 
confused, and it's pointless to continue this.
