Just because you know what it means, doesn't mean I know what it 
means.

The compiler sure seems to know what it means.

But it's not an absolute that in this situation that the 
programmer would know what it means - and I specifically use 
myself as a case study here ;-)

Also, will the next programmer maintaining your code know what it 
means?

interface Isomething
{
   void someMethod();
}

class Base
{
     void someMethod() {}
}

class Derived : Base, Isomething
{
    // is Derived fullfilling the semantic requirements of 
interface contract here?
}
