in thread Re-blessing || Re-constructing objects

To paraphrase perrin, all I have to do is depend on the public (i.e., documented) API. I don't have to depend on how the object is implemented.

I think the disconnect between how you're looking at things and how I am looking at things is I see OO as a set of behaviors that, when necessary, has some data to support those behaviors. You're looking at it as a data structure that may or may not have some behaviors associated with it. That's a pretty big disconnect.

My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
