Here we go. "No true Scotsman". This plus /ad hominem/ attacks.

It is relevant because the argument was over whether initialization always 
occurs together with loading, as you claimed upthread. It does not, as I have 
stated all along. I never made the claim that invocation of a static method 
did not cause (despite following) initialization.

And doesn't your statemtn - "a static method began to be invoked and the class 
was *still* not initialized" - reveal a sequence of "begin to invoke" followed 
by "initialize", just as I've been saying right along?

Do you mean to say you've been arguing against something that you actually 
agree with?

All this time?

If I hadn't been responding via a Web interface I'd've remembered why I 
plonked you a long time ago, snark.

As is required by the JLS, and has been since before Java 7.
