You're suggesting that there are no such things as conceptual properties. You are wrong. Calling set_area should conceptually set the area of whatever object it is. And that "area" that is being set is a thing, which (in OO programming) means you implement it as an object.
Furthermore, the Area->set method of a sub-object can do absolutely anything the set_area property can do. It is every bit as abstract, it just corresponds better to the suggested model. Notice that in my example, both Area and Radius operate on the radius value. They do not have their own independent set of data; the radius value is owned by the Circle object.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
