If you're just looking for a parent object (as you mentioned in another 
email), you don't need to build the collection at all. See 
#firstOwnerSuchThat: that ends doing #withAllOwnersDo: . This is how we 
do that kind of search in Morphic.

Also see that we don't use a generic "do you refer to this object" 
message, but messages that specifically talk about the owner, making the 
intent clear.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
