It turns out "dynamic dispatch" is not as well established or as clear as you insist. It means at least one of five things:

0. Dynamic dispatch (as you are using it) 1. Double dispatch 2. Multiple dispatch 3. Predicate dispatch 4. All of the above collectively.

What you thought was a confusing re-definition on my part might have been an ignorance of alternative uses on yours ;)

Java doesn't do 1, 2 or 3.
