I got the point and I completely agree. I'm just saying it is not 
peculiar to inheritance vs. composition.

Many times things get pushed too far because people have to sell

People following a cult are easier to manage but they don't think.

Writing software requires managing and paying people.

It's no surprise that successful techniques are built into cults.
