  1. Great article! For so many years I have also, always assumed that the term ‘cascade’ was referring to, what is in fact – inheritance! And I’d bet 90% of devs also make the same mistake.
    Perhaps the choice of that particular word to describe the process of conflict resolution could have been better.
