Try
M-x org-babel-lob-ingest RET org/worg/library-of-babel.org RET

See (info"(org) Evaluating code blocks")
The proper idiom is
#+call: write(file="jsontest")
Of course, there needs to be a proper 'write' src block in the file you
ingested, etc.

Is this *verbatim* ? Did you cut and paste everything (including the trailing
`2') all at once? If so, I do not get it.
I would have expected
#+RESULTS:
: myelsquare
which is the correct behavior.
To see why put point in the myelsquare src block and type C-c C-v v
then move point to the end of the 'preview' buffer and type C-x C-e.
Look at the value echo-ed in the minibuffer.
If it still isn't clear maybe `M-x (symbol-function 'myelsquare)' will help.
