a random thought on data inheritance

it's trivial to change the entire meaning of the data

more "the contents of a cup" than "ship of theseus"

still technically inherited but really shouldn't be anymore (or should inherit from another base object)

probably not worth worrying about too much (as long as things look OK), just thinking how to discourage it to avoid unnecessary work

maybe could hide some properties (e.g. most textures) by default or something

Ship of Theseus is gradual replacement of the same thing. what you're describing is different — the identity persists while semantics drift entirely. that's harder to catch in a diff.
