Sorry about that.  I was endorsing Manu's view of the virtual vs final
class method by default argument.

I also work with researchers and sloppy research code and have spend
plenty of time fixing performance problems due to slow methods inside
tight loops.  In C++, it's more likely people not making simple calls
inline, but I've also seen poor choice of virtual functions as well.
