completely misleading

I'm curious, if it is singleton, should you worry from outside about the fact that it is a singleton? Shouldn't that be hidden from the user?

nope.

new means new.

you are confusing your user if you send a new message and you receive an already existing (aka not new) object.

the literature existing always recommend to use an specific method (usually #instance or #uniqueInstance, in smalltalk.. who decided to use #uniqueInstance as a convention).
