Yep, for sure; and I was not discussing this actually.
(1) In fact, the whole exchange started when the OP asked how to call 2 different methods on the same object, one beeing defined on on its own class, the other one on the parent class. Which I still think is design fault.
(2) In the same post, I pointed to the above exception, with the example of __init__. But note that it's not actually calling on the same object: (2) is not in fact a special case of (1).

Then someone stated that, except for __init__, this should be considered wrong. You and Kent disagreed (and indeed I do too). But discussions on points (1) and (2) have been messed up. (I have never stated that (2) is wrong.)
