I don't however appreciate that the author doesn't actually know about Java or C++ well enough such that they are spewing falsehoods about Java or C++. Saying things like "There’s no clean way to say 'this is private to this file' (in C++)" is just bonkers. The author is well intentioned, but coming up with the wrong reason is worse than not offering any reason.

I had that thought too, and thought I must have misunderstood something. I generally assume I’m the dummy. :)
