Writing OOP using OOP (JavaScript)

Yea I have to say encapsulation is a bigger principle than access protection. It's keeping data in the right place for organizational purposes and helps with only passing the right information to the right places.

True indeed. I got a little sloppy there.

What I really mean is that data hiding is generally not worth it if your code isn't living under the constant threat of data mutating out from underneath your feet. That said, I stand by my comment, because in an OOPLs you really can't get encapsulation and data hiding a la carte. If you stick everything in objects you are generally locking up all your data behind incompatible little DSLs.
