Well put.
My additional gloss would be that basically every pronouncement on issues pertaining to "public", "private" and (especially) "the state" is insufficiently nuanced. If your mental models of the world are caricatures, you will be wrong in perpetuity, which seems a pretty accurate description of things as best I can tell.
It reminds me of discussions we've had about "rights". "Public" and "private" are often useful shorthands, but on the edges shorthands don't always hold up.
