Description

Having __errors as a private attribute makes building subclasses that want to access or manipulate errors harder than it could be since the __errors attribute is "hidden away" in the parent class. To have access to the subclass's __errors attribute you have to override any parent class method that sets the __errors attribute (so that it is stored as a private attribute of the subclass instead of a private attribute of the parent class.
