Maybe you should learn how to search using appropriate keywords.

I do not think it can, but you miss the point.  In your test case you have
assigned a Function object reference to the `foo' property of the object
referred to by the `window' property of an object in the scope chain. 
Then
you call a foo() function as the method of an object in the scope chain.

It is not logical to assume that you would be calling the same method on
the
same object, and it is therefore not logical to assume that `window' and
`this' in the method's local execution context refer to the same object.
And as we are dealing with host objects here, it would also appear not to
be
possible to determine (this way) whether or not the perceived inequality
is
an indication of an actual non-identity.
