You made a point about providing public accessor methods.
Deitel suggests that even private access to instance variables should go through accessor methods so that changes to how the information is stored or what validation is performed can be implemented in one place in the program. Do you agree?

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way. - Heraclitus
