I disagree. Teaching people to think about abstractions wrong is not in any way helpful. Everyone I know including myself had to spend years writing bad code before realizing that this way of thinking is counterproductive. It reminds me of this quote from Kung Pow

Don’t worry about Wimp Lo, he’s an idiot. We’ve purposefully taught him wrong… as a joke.

Composition is an infinitely better method to teach if you have to teach OOP. That way you don’t need to unlearn what you thought was the right way but is actually useless at modeling almost anything.
