This is exactly the cultural problem with too strict adherance to OOP :)

It's like people saying "nails are anti-pattern of course, but people still use them, so we've added hammer-heads to our screwdrivers".

Yes, that was the point I was getting at. It's obviously part of how real Java code is written, but I feel like I'm going against how the language was designed when I do it. (Clearly, everything is not an object, and a class is not always the most appropriate way to group code.)
