this was a lot of words about how - you have to just try something really to know how it works...
it's like voyager 1, we thought we knew what the edge of the solar system would be like, but until we actually reached it or at least reached the zone we are in now we didn't know it would behave the way it does...
With code, that is also true, you can't assume it will behave as you'd expect, what if under the given conditions there is a bug in the assembly code generated by gcc when it compiled the ruby interpreter such that the lambda behaved incorrectly? Or even a bit of memory was flipped into an invalid or unexpected state... shit happens which is why we must type, test, type, test, type test... all day to figure out how it really works...
