The (apparently widespread) idea that such correspondence is in some way significant to the basis of object-oriented <whatever> is, IMO, a gross misconception. Object technology has a sound basis without it, and in programming, one is rarely modelling the "real world" directly (except in UI, when building upon spatio-temporal "real world" metaphors to bridge the gap between the abstractions a program is based on and the user, and even then, the models used are abstract). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ William D.
