Bah. I seem to be wrong on both counts. Sorry.

Which I should have read more carefully:
 7. t.main(new String[0]);
 ^----^
*** Semantic Warning: Invoking the class method "main" via an instance
is discouraged because the method invoked will be the one in the
variable's declared type, not the instance's dynamic type.
So it is precisely the other way around from what I said above.
Cheers,
