That's a contradiction, you cant be "make everything hidden 
outside the scope" and "start with minimal access externally" at 
the same time.

If you mean you start by hiding things unless you are absolutely 
sure it needs to be in the public API, that makes sense.

But if your writing say a file class, you wouldn't start with 
Open and Close private, that'd just be retarded.
