I think this is a fallacious argument because it concludes that apples should be

Given, in C++:
struct S

public:
void foo(int);
private:
void foo(float);
}
void bar()
{
S s;
s.foo(1.0f);
}
This is an error in C++:
foo.cpp:6: error: âvoid S::foo(float)â is private
(I used g++ so nobody would complain this is a defect in dmc++.)
Why does this never come up on peoples' complaints about C++? I spent some time
googling it, and came up with nothing.
I don't think it can be dismissed as fallacious unless the why's have a
rationale.
