Sure enough.  Can you tell I've never used CFOBJECT or CFINVOKE, ever?

I'm curious.  Why would you want to type this:

<cfinvoke component="#o#" method="testMethod" returnvariable="r">
  <cfinvokeargument ... />
  ....
</cfinvoke>

as opposed to this:

<cfset r = o.testMethod(
  ...
) />

I know you hate my "i have lazy fingers" argument, but where's the
downside in this case?

cheers,
barneyb
