Well, this is just one problem, and IMHO benefits of multimethods
outweigh the possibility of making errors in using them.

You can make errors in using the Ruby/Smalltalk model too, e.g. it
doesn't protect against name clashes among methods in a class nor
class names themselves. Can I say that "Ruby doesn't solve any problems
created by single-receiver methods"?
