If your names are well-chosen, and your hierarchy well-designed, 
wouldn't it be unnecessary (except for the occasional extreme case)
to hunt down a lot of other stuff to understand the item at hand?

Conversely, if one has to study all the ancestors in great detail
to do anything with a particular descendant, haven't we lost much of
the reduced work alleged to be acheived by inheritance?
