Correct me if I'm wrong, but from how I understand it, polymophism 
basically means that it's possible to call the original member or 
method, even if the subclass overrides the particular member or method.

The polymorphism occurs within the member or method routine, and so is 
transparent to the user.

This allows you to create a subclass that redefines a member or method, 
but can still utilize the original.
