FAQ 8.03 Is intuition a reliable guide to understanding proper inheritance?

No!

Probably the most important message in this chapter is Don't trust your intuition. People who are still ignorant of their ignorance are dangerous. It takes a while before intuition (or "gut feel") lines up with proper inheritance. Until then, get help from someone with battle scars. Don't be mentored by anyone with shiny new armor be mentored by someone whose armor is old and dented.
