You decide to re-name the latter "doThis:" (the one which is not

Of course the tool can easily find in the NIB that "doThis:" is
sent(*). How on earth though would it know whether the actual
receiver is an instance of the former class, or an instance of the
latter one?
It asks you. You say yes or no and it does its stuff, saving you a
lot of time.
Also note that Turing did not prove that it is impossible to analyze
the dynamic behavior of a program statically, he proved that there
are certain cases where you can not and that you can't do it in
general. There are however hundreds of very useful static analysis
tools out there that infer information about the program at runtime.
