Eh. Sorry, my last message was wrong. The convenience methods on
NSEntityDescription will not take a nil context because the MOC is
the only way a class method can find your model.
If you want to create, but not insert, a managed object, you'll have
to use the designated initializer.
But -initWithEntity:insertIntoManagedObjectContext: really will take
a nil MOC, honest!
More coffee ...
