It is possible to create such examples, but in general
I think that is a bit of a bogus argument.

For a given operation, either you want it, in which case
you define it to do what you want, overriding the default
version if it is not what you want, or you define it as
abstract to make it illegal. I have seen this approach used
many times and used it myself, and it works out just fine.
