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

        That’s an instance property

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

                Instance properties are PascalCase.

                  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
