The problem is that with a real-world project like V8, with its 2 million lines of code, it is impossible to tackle and discuss it in detail. What you really need is a model, i.e. a simplified version of reality that you can discuss, i.e. using Ockham's razor blade. Looking at V8 to understand OO is a bit like taking a balloon ride over a city to understand quantum physics.
