| Regardless of the red herring of programming style (you mentioned
| "object oriented" in a way that seemed to imply the bogus but
| widespread use of it to refer to a style of programming rather than
| a pattern of resulting data at runtime)

Once again I am more intrigued by a parenthetical remark than about
what seemed to be the main issue at hand. Would you like to expand a
bit on this? What is bogus about the widespread use of "object
oriented", and what patterns of resulting data are you referring to?
