As described under the "Structured Analysis & OO Analysis", this is
misleading, and borders on hooey. OO gives *no free lunch*, only trade-
offs which may or may not match the pattern of future changes (usually
not, in my experience with custom biz apps). Dividing domain nouns
into sub-types is often an excercise in futility. Types are not
powerful enough a concept in my experience to properly classify the
variation-on-a-theme patterns encountered in actual front-line apps.
It only works well on "toy" textbook examples (usually shapes,
animals, and device-drivers).

Mr Manners reminds the Gentle Poster to review topmind's posting history
before taking the bait here.

Pay little attention to Philip. Take his mother's lead.
