Dear Kef,

I can totally understand the following. However, I cannot see clearly
how this is similiar to the self assignment?

Dear Alex,

I think I can see your point. So, we can gerenally say that, only
instances of a class can have assignments; Class name are only a
"reference" thing and doesn't have any "exact" values bind to it. Sorry
my wording might be wrong, but it's the best that I could think of.

thanks!
