> Abstract concepts map very well to objects. The problem of mapping a business domain to computing structures isn't unique to OOP.

Yes, I agree in theory. What I meant to say is that many concepts don't map to physical objects.

This is what I mean by flamewars. Your solution sounds good, but there are other people on this same thread still arguing that it makes perfect sense for an employee to fire itself.

The litany of category and analytic blunders on display in that subthread is remarkable, but it’s hardly intrinsic to OOP, and mostly attributable to inexperience.
