There is no concern; if you redefine BlockClosure >> value, the image will crash.Right. Also, look at all the implementors of #value. None of the ~30 classes only return self.That means if you write     x := cond ifTrue: a ifFalse: b.and you expect x to be either a or b, you might be in for a surprise if you happen to pass in a or b that implements value. Whereas with    x := cond ifTrue: [a] ifFalse: [b].you do get a or b. – Nessa
