I feel visibility should be there, but it should also be possible to bypass. Essentially visibility is a contract, and sometimes you want or need to go beyond.

I feel visibility should be there, but it should also be possible to bypass. Essentially visibility is a contract, and sometimes you want or need to go beyond.
