Neither of those positions is advocated by the article, so who exactly are you talking about? In fact, you seem to have assumed that "make sense" in the title referred to the issue of whether or not to use inheritance, whereas in fact the article is concerned with the customary conceptual understanding of inheritance within software engineering, and whether this understanding "makes sense". This is an easy enough mistake to make simply from reading the title, but one that should have been cleared up in a matter of seconds once you started reading the article body, which I presume you did, rather than immediately rushing to the comment section?
