Now I (think I) understand the root of our disagreement.  I'm thinking 
about functional programming here with only functions accessible per 
interface, you're thinking about what variable can be accessed and 
whatnot in a severely mutable setting.  It all becomes really hard when 
you allow state to dominate.  So hard that even very experienced 
programmers can face dificulty handling it all, thus having to invent 
all sorts of levels of accessibility rather than just rely on lexical scope.
