Smalltalk-80 does not agree.  I think your first sentence would 
communicate better with a different quoted qualifier, like "strict" or 
"minimalist" or "pedantic".

(All Smalltalk-80 methods are public,  but all instance variables are 
protected.  I can probably find or write a justification of why this 
makes sense in the Smalltalk world.)
