Hehe! Of course I was speaking utterly in jest, but this raises
(sorry, never could resist a bad pun) another question: What if the
base class implemented study(), and then LazyStudent subclasses
Student but makes study() raise NotImpl? Would that break things? In a
sense, it breaks the whole "this is a student so it should act like a
student" rule. Suppose it raised UtterApathyError instead - does that
break the LSP?
