  Bad assumption. :-)  More precisely, a dangerous one. You've no idea
(because it's not your job to in a Cocoa program) what else may be
retaining this object. Relying on a retain count or expecting an
object to be deallocated when you release it will likely bite you some
day as this is not guaranteed (or terribly common, I believe).
