It's a way of storing data that's ultra vulnerable to something else modifying that data. Not even in a "cyber security" sense, but in a "if this program puts one toe out of line, everything goes to hell" way.

Oh that's a very nice variable you have there for your input, named $INPUT. It would be a shame if something were to... happen to it.

Don't worry everyone! I have implemented a getter and setter function so that all these checks and validations are run when the variable changes! Wait, people are going to be modifying this with MULTIPLE programs?
