send to access private members

I'm a confused about why the following code works:

class Foo
private
def hello
puts "hello"
end
end
f = Foo.new
f.send(:hello)

whereas
f.hello will obviously fail.

I have tried this with private member setting as well and it also works.
Is send supposed to operate this way? The rdoc for it don't seem to
mention this. Thanks!
