- Nor do I. The (apparently widespread) idea that such correspondence
- is in some way significant to the basis of object-oriented <whatever>
- is, IMO, a gross misconception. Object technology has a sound basis
- without it, and in programming, one is rarely modelling the "real world"
- directly (except in UI, when building upon spatio-temporal "real world"
- metaphors to bridge the gap between the abstractions a program is
- based on and the user, and even then, the models used are abstract).
