It depends.  In the example above, things should work find if we go 
directly and say:

     myThread().start()

But do we want to be able to say t.wait() later on?  If so, we'll need to 
keep a name to the constructed thread, or else we won't have a way of 
sending additional messages to that thread.

Best of wishes!
