Like you said, technically it doesn't matter, but it makes it easier to 'educate' people. Example: I have written some classes for my company, and I made docs that explained all the available methods. Now a co-worker had a look at the sources, and decided that a few 'internal/undocumented' functions were useful to him... Since I didn't know those functions were used outside the class, I changed them and broke some of his code. The obvious sollution would be to educate my co-worker about using undocumented features, but doing this through programming language constructs makes this a lot easier (and I can be SURE nobody uses that code where they shouldn't). Just my personal reasons why I would like private methods :) Sander.
