Yes, but if you think about object oriented programming as just being about encapsulation, then I think you've missed the point to some extent. I like to think about it as programming in space rather than programming in time. Another way of looking at it is that it isn't just about decentralization of function (encapsulation) but decentralization of responsibility. It's not just a matter of creating components that "know" how to do a particular job, but of creating components who only need be concerned about doing that one job.

I know that OO programming tends to encourage
encapsulation, interfaces, and lego-block style
