The key to avoiding misunderstanding is
remembering that variables and objects are *different kinds of
things*. The name of a thing is not the thing itself. This is best
illustrated by pictures. I just drew some pictures that explain what
was happening in your example. (I simplified to make it just one
each, since the nested eaches don't have anything to do with the
problem you had.) They are here:

I'm rather pleased with them, plus I stayed up way too late to make
them, so you all have to look at them.
