I think by the time you get people so disconnected from each other that you 
have to literally defend your code against them, you also have a 
sufficiently big management structure that you can afford code reviews and 
things like that. And if someone *does* need to bypass your API and access 
the private variables, chances are you can either (1) get them to change the 
implementation of the public API, or (2) if the author is (say) in another 
company, it's a good thing you can bypass the lack of ability to do what you 
need. :-)
