Vitamin E supplements had no net benefit in reducing mortality, cardiovascular disease, or cancer whatsoever. - https://www.zmescience.com[..]f-money-for-the-vast-majority-of-people/

A nice table:
Do
|
Don't
|
1. Focus on interfaces. |
2. Be worried about the implementation. |
3. Mention semantic contract using interfaces. |
4. Let subtypes break this semantic contract of their parent types. |
5. Service decoupling using interfaces. |
6. Be coupled with specific concrete implementation. |
7. Family extension using interfaces. |
8. Break the family relationship using concrete implementation. |
9. Establish a family rule by abstract classes. |
10. Impose your own rule through concrete classes. |
11. Let interfaces answer all "what" about the system. |
12. Forget to mention "how" are you answering all "what" from interfaces. |
Also a good introduction of Strategy pattern
