However, if A' inherits from A, saying an A' is an instance of A _is_ correct, insofar as it has all the instance variables of A and therefore possesses everything that makes an A an A.

Wrong again. Well, the properties would be there, but can be obsoleted in A' -- not used anymore, the same functionality encapsulated into a different set of properties altogether.

Or the algorithms may have changed: presume some views, where A draws without special translations, A' uses them. Then any drawing- or placemernt- related method on A level would draw improperly and/or return improper positions (since it would ignore the translations).

There is an infinite number of similar possibilities, which make direct calling a super-super-class' implementation a potential havoc of no small order.
