That's my point. Reading between the lines of the judge's questions, he may
thinking that Sun invented object oriented programming. I know that the
arguments have surrounded the APIs, but the judge seems to me to be having
difficulty drawing the line between where the API finishes and the underlying
language features begin. This explains his interest in the OOP concept of
interitance in a case supposedly just about APIs. What if he is thinking that
the concept of inheritance is a part of the design of the Java APIs? To us it is
bleedingly obvious. To him, it may not be.

I sincerly hope he is asking these questions because he is going home to play
around with Java to learn a little about programming and is taking advantage of
his position to get a little private tuition. I fear that he is not.
