I realize Lippert holds more knowledge about OOP and programming in his spleen than I have in my brain, but he mentions in the first post that the first attempt violates C# rules. But, if working in C++, the interface could specify either (

That was 15 years ago, though -- a veritable millennium in the internet age. Although Amazon was around, a lot of people still accessed the internet over a cable modem (or even dial-up!) or some other technology which didn't provide u
