Because a method has one extra, hidden parameter. Each method, although
it is not declared, gets one extra parameter, which represents the
instance of the class (it is the value you can access with Self).
Normal procedures and functions do not need such a value.

Also, a method reference is not just a single pointer. It is in fact a
record which contains TWO pointers: one to the code fo the routine, and
one to the instance data. That is why you must specifiy
MyObj.SomeMethod when assigning to such a type.
