I am posting this on Ada group for comments, since Ada is well known for its
static binding more than any other language I know.
"Static binding is limited and may lead to difficulty in software
maintenance. Dynamic binding, on the other hand, provides design flexibility
and may enhance software maintainability"
Here is a screen shot of the page where the above was taken

I understand how dynamic binding can be more 'flexible', but why static
binding "may lead to difficulty in software maintenance" ? I do not
understand the rational behind this.
I would have thought than dynamic binding would do that more than static
binding?
