If that is the case then a lot of Free Pascal and Delphi demos are teaching
bad practices because they make most members accessible externally when
there is no real reason to. I never thought about that much because I just
wanted to get my apps working rather than think about proper OOP practices,
especially in the case of UI objects like forms, controls etc
