True. Looking at the code it shouldn't spaghetti in on itself infinitely and is basically clean in his intent.
Inheritance and Polymorphism is one of the hardest things to grasp mostly because examples they give in other books of 'objects' is so far unrelated to software that it doesn't really compare. `"An object is like a book which you can read and turn the page..."` but then can't tear or burn or hand to a friend or put on the shelf upside down, or put your coffee on top of while you surf on the web leaving a ring on the book.
Or comparing inheritance and polymorphism to animals but other than overriding the output function to 'meow' or something doesn't really help, while comparing to say a bank account management or something would be much better.
Maybe I'm just venting on the C++ Primer from 1997 that just annoyed me to hell.
