Not true. Since the spec says only one instance, the programmer could
assume this and utilize instance variables. This would not work as
expected (per spec) if there were multiple instances handling requests.
It is arguably a bad idea, but there are situations where it might be
useful and would work "according to spec" but multiple instances would
break it.
