Polymorphism applies to overriding, not to overloading??

[Prashanth Kayampady]

K&B chapter 5(two minute drill) says.."Polymorphism applies to overriding, not to overloading".
I don't agree with this. It applies to both overloading and overriding. I consider overloading as compile time polymorphism and overriding as run time polymorphism . Any thoughts on this..?

I think you can not polimorphically call overloaded method .
I would not consider overloaded method having any kind of polymoprhic
behavior, maybe only when if you do Reflective programming and you invoke all methods with same name but different parameters ... hmmm. even them ...

Because methods are identified by their fully qualified class name, method name, and ordered argument types, overloading is really just a variation in naming. From the compiler's perspective, overloaded methods are unrelated and are not a form of polymorphism.
