Hi, I just don't see it as a "namespace ideology", it is just how objects work. I know that he knows that it is encapsulation. My point being that it should not really be called that because it has nothing really to do with namespaces. Which is what my original post/question was about. I also think that people should use correct terminology so that people that are newer to programming start off right. I guess that this is just a personal preference.
Sorry for the confusion and any offence taken by anyone. P.S. Why do a lot of people email off list? I get doubles.

It makes perfect sense to me. Robert knows that this is called encapsulation. Don't let fancy terms make you lose sight of what's being discussed.
