He's saying that putting "private:" before the variables in a class 
declaration is equivalent to naming private variables with an underscore. In 
the first case, the compiler warns you if you use a private variable by 
mistake. In the second case, it's obvious from inspection. If you have
    x._y
in your code, you're doing something wrong. :-)
