I'm not a big expert, but reading your discussion on "object vs function" reminded me of something I've read about quantum mechanic. It seems that nothing does really exist, but that all is a kind of process instead ...
All of us are used to think in term of "hard objects" also in our normal life; so it's difficult to conceive the reality as prospected by "all is a process" (it echoes as Panta Rei - 'all flows' in greek).
So, I think that it's our materialistic frame of mind that likes better an Object paradigm versus a Function paradigm ... maybe ;)
At the end of the day, this strong discussion could be better solved by a big laugh, as some Zen master did on the end of his life :)
last but not least ... please excuse my bad english: I'm and old aged italian that didn't studied it at school
have nice days
