I'm pretty sure you are correct. So then the question is why doesn't this cause 
any failures. I think the reason is because the only meaning override done by 
Value is to make isValue() return true, and no one calls isValue(). So then the 
question is why do we have Value? I think we don't actually need it and 
FlattenValue can inherit from Instance instead, but I think it is a cleaner 
abstraction to keep Value in place. So I suggest just reverse the order of 185 
and 186 and put a comment in explaining how the order matters.
