If C++ classes represent only sets of data and not their behavior, then 
there would not be any need for member functions. Neither would there be 
any need for the distinction between public and private members.

One would only need structs and free functions that act on them.

But maybe this argument has gone on too long. You should just proceed as 
you think best.
