Method dispatch in core ruby

Ruby
1

Ruby is supposed to be truly adaptable, so good so far:

class Integer
  def +(other)
    self - other
  end
end

puts 3 + 5

→ -2

But trying to go deeper doesn’t seem to work:

puts 2.__send__(:+, 3)

class BasicObject
  def __send__(*args, **kwargs)
    "I refuse"
  end
end

puts 2 + 3

puts 2.__send__(:+, 3)

→ 

$ ruby override-basic-object-send.rb 
5
override-basic-object-send.rb:4: warning: redefining `__send__' may cause serious problems
5
I refuse

So intrinsic method dispatch sidesteps BasicObject#__send__?

Actually using puts is similarly educational. Obviously none of the puts call path is impacted.
