OO beginners often overuse inheritance and end up with big, complicated, rigid class hierarchies. The CRP wants to remind you that there is an alternative, more flexible way of achieving similar means. One example is using a Template Method vs. the Strategy
pattern.
I sometimes have the feeling that many people are overreacting to this issue and demonize inheritance. Inheritance can be a very powerfull tool if used wisely.
The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus
