This is a mistake with a bad consequences, BEM is are methodology about atomic code design, it gives you a standards and guides how to simplify code maintaining.

    If you think a Object Oriented Programming is a framework, then you can think about BEM like a framework too. But a correct word is a methodology. A “framework” have too generic meaning.

    Methodology gives us a methods how to improve software quality. This methods like an interfaces in programming that we must implement as programmers
