The composition-centric paradigm is validated by two independent lines of evidence: OCP's historical evolution from inheritance to abstraction (theoretical validation — the OO community's own principle revision converged on composition) and Decorator's quantitative proof of exponential scalability advantage (empirical validation — concrete measurement of composition's superiority), making the paradigm both historically endorsed and empirically demonstrated.
