We’re fully in agreement that ivars’ names don’t matter, while methods are important WRT avoiding the underscore. The issue is just that if you want to make a private *property* (as opposed to a private ivar), you can’t use an underscore prefix, because that would implicitly generate a getter *method* with an underscore.
