He states explicitly that: "applied to problems below an arbitrary complexity threshold, OOP can be verbose and contrived [...] it makes it harder to identify the cases where an object-oriented style truly results in an overall simplicity and ease of understanding" Also, read (it doesn't hurt) the previous post he links to at the end: http://prog21.dadgum.com/93.html http://prog21.dadgum.com/93.html Basically the author says that OOP should be applied only where appropriate - not to every simple script or every course for beginners.
