- That sounds silly to me. OOP is a broad area and can mean a lot of
- different things. As I understand it, methods and classes are not
- first-class objects in Java. Therefore, those Java language constructs
- don't fit the "OOP paradigm", and according to your statement, I shouldn't
- use them if I want to master OOP.
