   – supports data abstraction,
   – supports object-oriented programming, and
   – supports generic programming.

What's gonna happen when your Living.Eukaryote.Animal.Chordate.Vertebrate.Mammal.Therian.Primate.Anthropoid.Hominid.Homo.Sapien.White Interviewer forgets his machinegun on a certain boxer's table and gets killed? Do you have an entire mirror object hierarchy rooted on Dead? Or do you check this.isLiving() and throw InvalidStateExceptions from 95% of your methods?

OOP kinda sucks.
