    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

            How is OldMan a property here? It’s clearly the name of a class

              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
