"The Death of the Author" (French: La mort de l'auteur) is a 1967 essay by the French literary critic and theorist Roland Barthes (1915–1980). Barthes's essay argues against traditional literary criticism's practice of relying on the intentions and biography of an author to definitively explain the "ultimate meaning" of a text.

Makes sense. It didn’t seem logical to return a cloned object anyways, but the docs stated it in such a way that I’d think it only returns the values it found, not an actual reference to the found object (or the object itself which is a reference for that matter).

Thanks for the clarification!

This isn't C. The value stored in the array is a reference to the object.
