I am being totally honest here. I was very confused at the time and i
said i didn't agree because it's what i had put so much effort into
learning. They went on to say at some well known Python talks speakers
have stated why using OOP (especially inheritance, but not excluding
any others) is very bad design and the same thing can always be
achieved without it. To be clear they said every use case OOP is the
worst option. I asked what about GUIs which their design is strongly
based around OOP? and they sad GUIs are badly designed to begin with
so it proves the point about OOP.
