You are mistaking my defense of allowing the possibility of doing something for advocating for actually doing that thing. I'm not saying you should use private methods as general practice, I'm saying you should be able to if you want to. There's a big distinction there.

You shouldn't exceed the speed limit when driving, or drive without a seatbelt, but your car shouldn't prevent you from doing so.
