This is essentially correct. Why bother to decrement the retain count when the object is going away after all...

Relying on retain counts to tell you an object's state is not a good idea. What I'm guessing is that the code internally looks something along the lines of:

- (void) release
{
  if( retainCount == 1 )
        [self dealloc];
  else
      --retainCount;
}
