I don't see where you disagreed since that's exactly what I said
before. The check transaction credits cash then debits interest and

What, did you think double entry was the only way to get a system that
balances? If you really don't see the difference it just shows you
still need to think harder. As I said, the method of encapsulation
differs. To maintain a record of balance, your way requires you move
the transactions around the entire system. By using other objects we
can set up boundaries that allow separation of concerns.
