Answer 1

I think you conclusion from reading the documentation is wrong.

So basically it can happen that the method gets called immediately as if I had just sent a direct message

No. The part of the documentation you quote says that the selector is always queued on the run loop, no matter what. So it will never be executed just as a direct message.

The first sentence with the "not necessarily" might be a bit misleading, but I think the second sentence should really clarify that what you fear is not gong to happen.
