This is why prototype based languages allow software to model our experiences much more accurately. Inheritance seems to rely on a platonic ideal, i.e. there is some universal sense of chair (parent class) from which office chair, rocking chair inherit. In reality that's not how we think about chairs. We can imagine the first chair was a tree stump which was incrementally refined, eventually into office chair, rocking chair, etc. When we wish to add heated chairs to our application we can simply add a heating element to our chair prototype. We can even have heated office chairs, heated rocking chairs which use the same heating element prototype. Much more flexible.
