good! you liked the idea :-)
I have a semantic problem with "Better small polymorphic classes than a large ugly one". I understand that objects are polimorphic, not clases.
I think we should say something about smalltalk meta-circular property and something about that everythings is an object...
For example:
* We don't fear metaprogramming because it brings dinamism to live
* We love objects because objects are everything and everything is an object
or something like that :-)
