In the case I mentioned and that I've seen, it was not an example of double dispatch. Double dispatch uses method calls like this to pin down which version of myMethod is being called based on knowing the type of this in the caller. So, the telling indicator that double dispatch was being used would be if the call to myMethod was passing "this" as one of the args. Good point!
