I answered that in the other thread, quoting you precisely saying exactly that.
What I have put forward here in this poll and in an earlier discussion
is that a Java Method is an Instance of the Java Class
java.lang.reflect.Method. I'm glad you finally admit to this truth.
A Java method is not an instance of the Java class java.lang.reflect.Method. A
method is not an instance of anything in Java. You saying that I "finally admit
to this truth" doesn't change what I am saying, nor the truth.
You are mistaken. I have pointed you to the correct documentation.
Quite frankly I am mystified by your obstinance. The truth is the truth. Why is
it unpleasant to learn the truth? You seem to have so much invested in
promulgating this canard that a method is an instance of a class, or that it is
a class, or that a method is an instance of 'Method'. None of those statements
are true.
