But there is a way of setting the property (hide and show) without actually referring to the property "visible". So why can't we find out the state of the property without knowing explicitly about it, i.e., what the property's name is? When my students write hide field "xxx" they don't know that what they're really doing is set the visible of field "xxx" to false and I'd just as soon keep that level of abstraction, at least for my 8th graders.
