Google for "replace conditional with polymorphism".

Just checked and it is in "Clean Code" - Chaper 17; Section G23 "Prefer Polymorphism to if/else or switch/case".

This is really terrible advice. Sometimes it's better to do that, but definitely not in the example from this article.

If anyone says you should always prefer polymorphism to switches they are a bloody idiot.

Let's go, let's eat shit on toasts! It's just a matter of how thin you can spread it to hide the taste...
