   NEVER put brackets around a single parameter like that unless you know   
   exactly what it is doing. If you do this, it WILL bite you in the back   
   one day.   
      
   You should only use brackets when using the return value of the function   
   (which includes call) or when you explicitly want a parameter to be   
   evaluated (Which is why it will fail when you try and pass an object)
