I think the metaphor is appealing; you just take the real world, identify the objects relevent to your problem, implement them in code and everything will work fine! And the alternatives are either to have less modular code (procedural) or code that doesn't work like the real world and/or how people think (functional ...

Having an "it depends on" would still be better than the status quo, where all four of those dogmas are taken as universally applicable statements. Indeed, imagine if a paper came out with the title "Objects potentially harmful", with case studies that showed that in some cases, other paradigms were better. Oracle wo...

Great point, I didn't cover that at all! I've got some more testing-related thoughts brewing in the back of my head, maybe I'll try to say something about when to test.

I've always wondered what makes C so popular. Even more so than C++, which most would argue is more powerful. The reason I like the two languages is because the syntax looks so complex and convoluted(emphasis on looks) it makes me feel accomplished when I write a program in it. I know it's a stupid reason but that's ju...

I'm not assuming that no reason exists. I'm saying that there is a mountain of evidence showing that OOP doesn't deliver in areas of code maintainability and reuse. There are plenty of reasons why its popular and people use it, most of them have nothing to do with improvement in these areas.

I don't think so. As long as the running environments for the programs are properly sandboxed, there should be no danger. (Basically, to shield against those things you mention, it should suffice to limit filesystem access to a specific directory and don't allow any access to network sockets at all.)
