big mistake?

Yes.

can anyone point to one other example where "call method on

It doesn't matter. Either case is confusing, one way or another, as Tim has already argued. Changing it would be a big mistake. If you want me to come with more comprehensive arguments (other than what Tim already covered), please come with more comprehensive arguments *for* the change, too.
