Hey, the burden of proof is on your side! (:-)). SI is an artificially
restricted MI. Consider overloading allowed only in one argument. Silly?
Then convince me that you really need it for two arguments. And, well,
there are work-arounds A, B, C etc.
Now consider a possibility that MI has a problem X. Then, obviously, either
X is a problem of the concept of inheritance (1), or X is a problem of the
language, implementation, our understanding etc (2).
Thus either:
(1) we should better dismiss SI as well.
or
(2) we should carefuly check the language to implement MI correctly.
