Methods provide the public interface for a class's objects. An object that is just a bag of bits such that any other object can get or set every one of its instance variables is better represented as a Dictionary. You should design your object's interface respecting the needed protocols, not its internal design. Bad code smell otherwise. -- Randal L.
