Hi.
- Whether Andres was wrong or right about direct
instance variable access, it was not cool to come down on him like a ton of bricks. Andres, on the other hand, should have simply questioned why the instance variables were not being accessed directly, instead of boldly asserting they should be.
I'd like to clarify something... the subject of my original mail is "[Interval Problem] my 2 cents". I was hoping that my assertion would be clearly restricted to the Interval fix being discussed. I made the assertion based on the style already used in the coding of Interval, that is, no accessors. Then... is this a bold assertion?
"I think it would be a good idea to remove the self sends..."
I'd rather say that a bold assertion would be more like
"Self sends must be removed..."
but I could be wrong since English is my second language.
Andres.
