Certainly not. self is an object reference which cannot be changed by
the user. A scope is something that holds named object references
(local variables). self can change
- on method entry
- when opening a class or module body
- inside a block when executed via #instance_eval, #instance_exec,
#class_eval or #module_eval
Local scope changes
- on method entry
- inside blocks
- inside class and module bodies

Correct.

Wrong for self.
irb(main):015:0* p self
main
=> main
