Looking at the text, I think this is still right.

Explaining, at this early point, that code within a class or subclass of 
an object can access instance variables but -- without an access 
selector -- "another object cannot send a message to an object of this 
class to get internal values of instance variables" seems like too many 
"language lawyer" words.

I think the simple way of saying this is less confusing to beginners.

How would you say this differently?

Thanks once again for your careful reading and questions !!
