Comment (by TimothyBlynJacobs):

 I think people are talking about two different aspects of object
 assignment here. If any changes to `wpdb` state are made to the ''same''
 global, then those changes will of course be in any property that
 references `wpdb` because they are both pointing to the same object.

 However, if a plugin stomps the `wpdb` global, the ''new'' object won't be
 what the class property references.
