Uh. Maybe I'm missing something, but...if you lock on a reference that
only you have access to, but the object you're protecting is visible to
others, doesn't that also mean that an alternate way for someone else to
screw things up is by accessing the object *without* locking it?

This would be possible in both cases. Making the lock object publicly
accessible doesn't force callers to lock.
The trick is, to implement the class in such a way, that it can be used
safely without locking in any multithreaded implementation.
