Evidently, PHP just works differently. Even though Quackologist::update(\SplSubject) takes a reference to \SplSubject, this fine provide you pass (at runtime) a class derived from SplSubject that implements whoami(). Only if were to pass an SplSubject instance that does not implement whoami() will you get an runtime error.

C++, on the other hand, would complain

error: no member named 'whoami' in 'Base'

because Base has no whoami() method.
