A plausible compromise is to demand LSP in terms of programming, but
not necessarily functionality. So an Ostrich would have a fly() method
that returns some kind of failure, in the same way that any instance
of any flying-bird could have injury or exhaustion that prevents it
from flying. It still makes sense to attempt to fly - an ostrich IS a
bird - but it just won't succeed.
