Calls a static method on the OldMan class instead of the instance of oldMan that is actually dying.

Tonight's story: Every man older than OldMan.getMinimumAge() has been in perfect *unchanging* health for the last few months‽ To find out why, stay tuned! Our experts chime in to help you understand....

But then they really have no idea and try to convince you it’s from some stupid diet trick fed to them by a sponsor.

That's an instance property

Is this some .NET convention that references to instances start with capital letters?

Yeah, properties (like a field but with a getter and/or setter method, may or may not be backed by a field) are PascalCase

Instance properties are PascalCase.

Okay, but this makes more sense as an instance method rather than a static one
