What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Object-oriented programming is a method of implementation in which programs are organized as cooperative collections of objects, each of which represents an instance of some class, and whose classes are all members of a hierarchy of classes united via inheritance relationships." in the context of "Grady Booch (1991) Object-oriented design: With Applications. p. 35" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
