extension Data {
    //generic method
    func value<T>(from byteOffset: Int, as: T) -> T {
        self.withUnsafeBytes { $0.load(fromByteOffset: byteOffset, as: T.self) }
    }
    
    //none-generic method
    func uint16Value(from byteOffset: Int) -> UInt16 {
        self.withUnsafeBytes { $0.load(fromByteOffset: byteOffset, as: UInt16.self) }
    }
}

When I output the following:

let a = data.withUnsafeBytes { $0.load(fromByteOffset: 0, as: UInt16.self) }
let b = data.uint16Value(from: 0)
let c = data.value(from: 0, as: UInt16.self)
print(a, b, c)

The output will be 2022 2022 UInt16.

When I am inspecting c it turns out to be UInt16.Type which does not make sense to me. Why would it return the Type instead of the value?
