A taxi does not inherit from the class Vehicle. A taxi is a vehicle and there is no class Vehicle in the real world. OO is a abstruction, not a real world model.

You've never heard of object-oriented modelling. This is sad. What's in a process? Things that move through a system, and they are defined by abstract classes, instantiated into concrete objects to represent the physical objects moving through the system. This is EXACTLY what my programming team is doing, so don't tell me that you can't model the real-world in OO.

You claimed it was hardware and that position has been shown to be false.

We've been over this already, give it up.

Do you understand what the term "modelling" means?

In the real-world a taxi is a vehicle, it does not inherit from the class vehicle. In an abstract model of a taxi, one can claim it is derived from the class vehicle.

OO concepts do not work where you tried to apply them. One cannot run a football team my claiming the Quarterback inherits from class Player but you can use this concept to create an abstract model.

OO is conceptual, not real.

I know you like to endlessly change the subject so you can confuse the issue to the point that nothing makes any sense which clears the way for you to do your little victory - but that was the topic of the debate.
