Follow the trail o' definitions... cmd-double-click on isKindOfClass: ought to lead you to this:

- (BOOL)isKindOfClass:(Class)aClass;

And cmd-double-click on the BOOL return type will lead here:

typedef signed char             BOOL;

Thus, a BOOL is not an object. The only reason why your code didn't crash is because NO is coincidentally equivalent to Nil/NULL/nil. If it had returned YES, you would have crashed on the above line of code.

So... how to turn a BOOL into a string? For purposes of debugging, I would do:

NSLog(@"Is Kind of NSString: %@", [[step class] isKindOfClass: [NSString class]] ? @"YA!" : @"NoWayMan");

But that's just me...
