FWIW. I have always disagreed with this. After all, you can use the OO paradigm to model abstract concepts that don't exist in the real world. That real-world objects are often most easily modelled using the OO paradigm is instead a matter of a good application of OO, as opposed to a definition of OO. -- Cheers, The Rhythm is around me, The Rhythm has control.
