LOL.

Whatever.  Why doesn't he do that to start with?  Class public fields exist for a reason.

Read down through the comments.  Like everything else programming, there are very opinionated people 
on both sides of the isle.  But notice that *referencing* code breakage is very real.

Kind of like natural vs surrogate keys, you can get away with either... until you can't! And when 
you can't you have created problems for yourself that you never would have had had you just "done it 
right" to start with.
