Absolutely! I think even a simple anonymous function would work, but in that case the scope may bite you 😂

It wouldn’t in this case, as the function tested would retain its scope. It is functionally the same if you intent to bind the function to itself. In fact bind returns a new function (so you get 2 functions here as well), which is good to remember if using it with e.g. React event handlers (referential equality changes) 😊
