yes you are right. my example was wrong. actually the second method ain't in an controller, but in an initializer. and what i really wanted to do is log the calling controller_name and method_name. but i wanted to achieve this without having to add more parameters to my method call.
of course i could just say: say_my_name(self.controller_name, self.method_name) but i'm lazy and i don't want to type "(self.controller_name, self.method_name)" all the time, so i thought tried to find a way to figure out these infos inside the say_my_name-method. if there ain't anything better than to parse caller, i'm gonna go with that.
