That's true. But it I understood correctly, not even in that case the
recover will work. Because the recover will search the methodDict in the
category (organization). So, if I just set a nil to the methodDict using
#instVarAt:put:  but I don't "backup" the methodDic in the category, the
recover won't work.

I am right ?
