Line 223: * Perl programmers: see [http://wiki.slowass.net/assemble.cgi?PerlDesignPatterns] ---- :The point is the motivation for OOP and inheritance is not or should not be code-re-use. I've not edited this article for a while because of a dispute, but I just saw red with re-use being mentioned prominently in the first paragraph, so I just revertted it. But looking at it now (even before your last edit), I see that re-use is still over-emphasised. Promoting re-use as a motivation for inheritance completely misses the point of constructing sensible models. If an inheritance heirarchy is constructed for the sole purpose of code re-use it can lead to labyrinthine ineritance graphs that make it difficult to figure out which class control flow is going to pass to.
