Well, first, you aren't calling a method, you are sending a message. It's different. So, of course, sending a message to somebody that isn't home is going to yield you an empty response.

Again, message, not method.

Er... I would hope that I get some sort of Not At This Address notification (in some fashion - exception, special return value, option type, etc, etc, etc.). Dropping the ball like that by default is really not helpful in building correct systems.
