I am so totally the wrong person to argue with you about...
...this that I'm not even going to try. :)
I honestly admit, I don't know much about the OOP debates you guys like getting into... I'm not even certain I really grokked your statement.
Give me a few years, THEN we'll talk. :)
"He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you." - Friedrich Nietzsche
