It *is* an object instance.  The expression T'Access, inside the
declaration of a type, refers to the "current instance," which is of
course an object.

Same thing, different syntax.

Creationists attempt to draw a line between evolutionary biology and the
rest of science by remarking that large-scale evolution cannot be
observed.  This tactic fails.  Large-scale evolution is no more
inaccessible to observation than nuclear reactions or the molecular
composition of water.
