Are God objects a consequence of inheritance?

question 2 connections

Audience question: do God objects emerge specifically because of inheritance, and would banning inheritance in a project prevent them? Chikahiro agrees inheritance is limited (echoing Sandi Metz's 'delegation over inheritance'), but doesn't claim it's the sole cause — his own examples lean on delegation and concerns extraction rather than inheritance hierarchies. Real domains rarely fit textbook animal/dog inheritance patterns.

answer_summary
Inheritance is only one contributor and rarely fits real domains. Prefer delegation; banning inheritance alone won't prevent God objects.
