Well, I do not want to argue. But this is not what I call polymorphism.
Not "on the same object". Polymorphism as I know it rather dispatches depending on the object (usually it's actual type).
The kind of exception beeing the case of one method calling the other (as I related later in the same post). But it still is not is calling 2 methods with the same name on the same object. It's rather one method reusing another.
