There is nothing wrong with an object having only one parent. Most
times the reasons are for maintainability. I might have a TextEditor
that exposes all the generic functionality that are ubiquitous to text
editors and then a FancyTextEditor(TextEditor) that exposes
functionality that is unique to a confined set of text editing uses. A
silly example, but proves the point. Do not judge an object by the
number of prodigy.
