Well, it's required for one of the mainstays of OO programming -
polymorphism - in every OO language.
And even without polymorphism requirements, it works quite well. Only
stoopid Tony would find it confusing. Most people find it more
confusing to have things like:
printInt
printString
printDouble
printEmployee
etc. They find it much clearer to have one function name "print".
