Why the following command doesn't work for 'quality'?

> getMethod('quality', 'ShortReadQ')
Error in getMethod("quality", "ShortReadQ") :
  No method found for function "quality" and signature ShortReadQ
> showMethods('quality')
Function: quality (package Biostrings)
x="ANY"
x="FastqQuality"
    (inherited from: x="ANY")
x="ShortReadQ"
    (inherited from: x="ANY")
