I never said C++ was used for such systems. I said I had seen a UML model
from Boeing (who I think we can all agree have an interest in the aviation
industry) with over 1000 classes. My _point_ (and I didn't realise how
specific I needed to be on this list in order not to get attacked, for which
I apologise) is that stating that such a system is "almost surely" flawed
just because it has 150+ classes is a stupid statement to make unless you
have an in depth knowlege of the problem domain.
