So well put, just today I implemented a feature and kept asking myself if i should be extending the component (leaning more towards OOP) or just add an additional argument to said component. The latter would have stuck more with the current style but I also realized there's no obvious better way, extending made sense and I realized the importance of understanding the nuance and standing up for those design decisions is what I am here to do :)

thank for putting that in less words
