Given some of the discussions that have gone on here of late, I thought
Fowler's article on semantic diffusion was interesting:

"But now, years later, the essential meaning of OO is reasonably well
understood."
That statement alone makes me question the author's competence.
There are about 9 characteristics that "define" OO (I wish I could find
that article--I think it was on one of the Lisp resources). Every
language seems to use a slightly different subset of those 9 and creates
religious wars of the "We're real OO!"--"No you're not!" type.
