I agree that this is a naive view, for the same reason I objected to 
Alan's "find the nouns" approach to OO design. For me considerations of 
cohesion, encapsulation, DRY, testability, and any required reuse or 
flexibility are far more important to design than correspondence with 
tangible objects.
