From the WWDC 2014 video 216: "targetViewControllerForAction works by looking 
at the View Controller and seeing if it's _overwritten_ the action method that 
you've passed in."

From Kyle Sluder's blog: "-targetViewControllerForAction:sender: ... will then 
determine whether the instance’s method for that selector is an override of a 
UIViewController implementation for the same selector."

Those descriptions are correct. But then how do you suppose it does this? 
There's an introspective voodoo happening here that I've never seen before. 
`respondsToSelector:` obviously doesn't cut it: it would return YES if this 
class merely _inherits_ the ability to respond to this selector. How would you 
find out the answer to the question, "does this UIViewController subclass 
respond to this selector _differently_ from UIViewController?"

Thx - m.
