So, it doesn't precisely say that calling -init will result in an exception. 
For -initWithNibName:bundle:, it says:

"If you pass in a nil for nibNameOrNil then nibName will return nil and 
loadView will throw an exception; in this case you must invoke setView: before 
view is invoked, or override loadView."

Since calling -init never affords a chance to pass in a nib name, and therefore 
-nibName shouldn't have a value, I would expect -loadView to throw.

Normally I implement -init in my subclass and have it call 
-initWithNibName:bundle: with the NIB's name, but I hadn't gotten around to 
that yet, and it was working fine, and I was curious.
