At least it caught a bit of attention... but I agree. Sorry.
Properties emulate fields, but they can't behave 100% like
fields because if they did they'd be fields.
That's no reason to make them functions instead. Or something so
far from fields that becomes cumbersome.
The basic idea is: "properties are (a little more) that fields
with validation and directional access control". That's all.
Notice that in the brackets above there is "more", but also it is
prefixed by "a little".
