Comment:

 `get_the_ID()` is indeed a function to be used within The Loop, and since
 the loop on that page is that of the latest posts, it is returning what
 it's supposed to.

 Codex can be edited by anybody who is logged in. I think it would be
 sensible to make a note about getting the ID that you want, but perhaps
 not too specific, and remembering that `get_post_meta()` is not where you
 learn about how to get the ID of the object you want.
