 Well, probably you make a confusion

 Kernel#method create a Method object, for example

pigeon% ruby -e 'def tt() end; p method(:tt)'  
#<Method: Object(Object)#tt>
pigeon% 

 Now ruby effectively call #method_missing when it don't find a
 method
 
pigeon% ruby -e 'qq()'
-e:1: undefined method `qq' for #<Object:0x401bace0> (NameError)
pigeon% 

pigeon% ruby -e 'def method_missing(id) p "missing #{id}"; end; qq()'
"missing qq"
pigeon%
