As long as we are being careful about what "inheritance" and "delegation"
really mean, let's be careful about "proved" and "the same", too.

One can prove that all computations are equivalent to some Turing Machine,
but it is still true that computations is some language, even BASIC,
offer many advantages over TM's.  Even if inheritance and delegation
can be shown to be logically equivalent in some fundamental sense,
one might be a better notation or representation than the other for some
purposes.
