Interfaces: At 9:44 Craig says "Any class can see private variables of other classes, right?" Does he mean "CAN'T see"?

Just want to make sure that I'm hearing this right.

Hi Arnold!

Any instance can see other instances private variables if they are of the same class. That's what I was trying to get across there. They need to be instantiated from the same class, and then the private information can be accessed (within the class.)

That clear things up?
