      Calls a static method on the OldMan class instead of the instance of oldMan that is actually dying.

          But then they really have no idea and try to convince you it’s from some stupid diet trick fed to them by a sponsor.

          Is this some .NET convention that references to instances start with capital letters?

            Yeah, properties (like a field but with a getter and/or setter method, may or may not be backed by a field) are PascalCase

              How is OldMan a property here? It’s clearly the name of a class

                  Yes I know, I’ve coded in .NET before, but so are class names.

                    Okay, but this makes more sense as an instance method rather than a static one
