Not true - inline method invocation works with late binding provided
the object reference is a universal object reference (which requires
late binding). I also disagree with you - performance wise, late
binding is bad.

That said - I had a long post written on another thread and Google ate
it.

In it I apologized to Judson for implying he didn't understand OO.
Second I said that OO has not yet fulfilled it's promise - but that it
soon will.

Model based programming is made possible by OO. In addition "web
services" are made possible by OO syntax. SOAP means Simple OBJECT
Access Protocol. With these advances OO - being Objects AS A SERVICE
- will fulfill its promise.
