This looks awfully much like back in the days when OOP really took off and people started to brag about how many thousands of classes they have in their systems. They even drew dependency diagrams awfully similar to those in that presentation. And they thought all that complexity and interconnectedness was a good thing, something to applaud! Of course most of this happened in small presentations, not on HN and giant conferences. But it still happened. Nowadays, bragging about your thousands of classes in your OO application earns you laughs, or at best pitiful stares - rightfully so. I'm wondering if history is going to repeat itself...
