The original phrase "As stated in the Gang of Four..." is semantically incorrect.

  • The "Gang of Four" is a group of authors: Erich Gamma, Richard Helm, Ralph Johnson and John Vlissides.
  • They wrote a famous book: Design Patterns.
  • Here, Ryan McDermott is referring to the software-design principle "you should prefer composition over inheritance."
  • This principle was stated in the book, Design Patterns.
  • It was not stated in the Gang of Four -- the authors themselves.

True, it would be weird for it to be stated in the authors. Thanks for correcting this!
