Having a debate over inheritance without a consensual definition of OO is gonna lead us nowhere.

The word "OO" has been a selling buzzword for several decades. Which means our best bet in getting a sensible definition is to pick the original one.

This is why we keep bringing up "Kay's OO" (which also is, by the way, Coplien's OO, Reenskaugh's, Dave West's ...)
