There is no need to argue the good documentation is a good
thing.
However the laws of the mass production and the laws of the art
are different somehow. The way one paints walls is not way the
artist does obey.
Let me proposed we do not use an agrument like
"violation of the OO law".
in the "technical" discussion.
I don't think those principles are as strict as the "speed of light"
postulate.
One may think there were no computer and software for 50 years
before OO "law" comes around.
With my best regards.
