That is not correct.  In C# you can use method groups in many contexts, but
mainly they are useful in contexts that provide some kind of target type.
 For example

variable = object.MethodName;
return object.MethodName;
OverloadedMethod(object.MethodName);
(TargetType)object.MethodName

In fact, there is one context where a target type is not even required,
though I'll leave that to you as a puzzle.
