Based on his examples, yes -- but if the possibility of using simple tuples
is taken into account, it becomes a design decision that should be made
fairly early. Once you've got a whole system that depends on notes to be
objects with lots of behaviour, it's not easy to go back. Conversely, once
you've got a system that's spread note behaviour all over the place like
nutella you've got a sticky mess that's not easy to clean up.

There's that too. I'd go for reasonably intelligent notes, myself.
