I think this is wrong. I can't imagine why you assumed that some future method call would affect whether two NSNumbers are equal. They are equal if they contain the same value. You must realize that, for example, -boolValue would map a great many different NSNumbers to the same return value, but that doesn't imply that the NSNumbers are equal.
