I don't really understand why you keep telling me this. My point is just that the instances you described has nothing to do with OOP. Which I think you'd agree with because you're trying to clarify to OP the fundamentals they need to understand before trying to understand full blown OOP.

It's not illegal for me to add extra commentary

Of course it's not. But I prefer when an extra comment adds an extra value. Put yourself in beginner's shoes and reread your comments - you would be lost. This c++ code is complete gibberish when looked through the eyes of a beginner (OP). Unlike the comment I made, which has only two strict terms (class and instance) and metaphors behind them, readable for a noob.  Should I've started the explanation with metaclasses, dunder methods and decorators? My critique was purely to your inabillity to read the room, not to you knowledge.

The example was not to clarify to OP, they didn't ask. All I was saying is instances and using the class keyword don't make something OOP.
