&gt;&gt;The problem I see in projects built using proper OOP in C++ is that
&gt;&gt;the same data is validated over... and over... and over... and
&gt;&gt;over... because none of the objects can make any assumptions about
&gt;&gt;the others, so they can't ever take for granted that someone else has
&gt;&gt;validated the data. If they did, they'd break the whole reuse thing. 
&gt;
&gt;Actually that's what I've been doing with stratight C and procedural
&gt;programming for years.  I've always been a big fan of heavy sanity
&gt;checking.  Then OOP came along and made it de rigeuer.

I do heavy sanity checking on input. Once. Then I know it's sane. It's
really not likely to go apeshit over the course of the program.

 I am here to grind your eyes harder into the miasmic bile of life; to 
 show you the truth and the beauty in the whisper of steel on silk and 
 the crimson scent of blood as it rises to meet the caress of a blade.
