Subject: Re: Kernel.method() question

D'oh!

Of course, because Kernel.method() is only returning a Method object, but
not actually calling that method.

I think my confusion was because the only places I have ever used method(),
I have in fact used it like this:

method(methodName).call(*args)

...so I guess I had stopped thinking about the Method object *as an object*
at all.

Cool.

 Well, probably you make a confusion
