So, metaphysics (AKA implementation details) aside, the + [NSApplication mainMenu] behaves AS IF IT WERE an actual menu, the items of which are the individual menus (Apple, Application, File, Edit, etc) of the menu bar... is that right?

Then what IS the Menu Bar?

I think what Andreas is saying is that the "Menu Bar" (the actual window attached to the top of the screen that floats above all application windows and the desktop) is a system component which you can't access. That component maintains the list of top-level menu items for the current application, which you can access indirectly via an NSMenu object obtained from +[NSApplication mainMenu].
