If your data changes then won't you need to refactor more than if your data changes in OOP? I suppose "data changing" is an arbitrary measurement but I think that's what people refer to when they talk about refactoring DOD vs OOP.

Likely, yes, but the corollary is if your data structure stays similar and well defined, then you'll have smaller, cleaner and less refactors for reasons that are unrelated to a fundamental shift in your actual data
