In general, you'd be correct, but in the specific instance of a single 
overriding routine, you'll get the right answer in a procedure. But you 
can't add any new primitive operations in a subprogram, and you can't 
override anything after the first body (and most people will only write 
bodies in a subprogram declarative part). Ergo, it works fine for silly 
examples like this one, but it's a bad habit to get into.
