This creates a widget and calls it 'label'

This creates a second widget and calls it 'label' At this 
point we no longer have a reference to the first widget 
(except by interrogating the root object for its children)
>     ...
>     label.grid()

This pushes the currently referenced widget onto the GUI.

Correct, because that's what we told 'label' to point to 
most recently. Python does exactly what you ask it to do 
and no more...
