Base classes at the top of a class hierarchy must always have a virtual destructor. This is necessary to ensure proper cleanup of child classes upon their destruction.

It is untrue that a base class must always have a virtual destructor. See http://blogs.msdn.co.../07/127826.aspx

Without knowing how your users/others will use your code, "always" is a good rule of thumb.

It is a common interview question, I think it is good to have all the facts relating to virtual destructors and not to pretend it is always right when in reality it is just a rule of thumb, as you say. The tutorial presented it as a rule of thumb which is great, I just wanted to clarify for anyone reading the comments.
