>Buffer also comes with additional caveats. For instance, Buffer#slice() creates a mutable segment linked to the original Buffer, while Uint8Array#slice() creates an immutable copy, resulting in possible unpredictable behavior. The problem is not the behavior of the Buffer#slice() method, but the fact that Buffer is a subclass of Uint8Array, but changes the behavior of an inherited method.
But this is an implementation detail, not specified behavior. Changing method behavior in subclasses is a key aspect of inheritance.
