In http://perso.wanadoo.fr/kodama/x265.html it says:
"The method executed is the "most specific" method that has the signature 
#aimAt:with: and applies to archer: if we call delegation distance the number 
of arcs in the graph of delegates for archer, then the method that is 
executed has the shortest delegation distance among all methods that could 
apply."
And shows this image http://perso.wanadoo.fr/kodama/depth-first.gif
The numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 show the priority of the method, right ? But according 
to that statment, if the method is found for 3 and 4, 4 should be used 
because the arc is shorter (only one hop while the arc of 3 is two hops). I 
think this is only a problem in the picture, or, I may have missunderstood 
some concepts. Can anybody clarify and see if the tutorial needs correction ?
Thanks.
