Not even close, Paka. How do you continue to get this wrong?

You have been shown the truth. You've been shown the documentation for the 
truth, about which you got very snarky indeed: "I'm too lazy to read the 
documentation but I'm going to argue for the wrong answer anyway."

As you have been told before, Paka. Repeatedly. Repeatedly.

As you have been told before, Paka. Repeatedly. Why don't you just break down 
and read the documentation?

Summary: What your code proves is that a variable points to an instance of a 
class. It does not show that a method is an instance of a class. At no point 
does your code show any treatment of any method as a class instance.

Get this right or get out of programming, Paka. "20 years of professional 
software development experience" is only worth something if you let your 
experience teach you something. Time to start learning, Paka.
