The short answer is that the model of access discriminants is such that 
objects with them can never allow them to be changed. The reasons for this 
are extremely hard to explain (it has to do with accessibility checking - 
the RM text that Steve Baird has started calling the "heart of darkness" 
;-), and I'm not going to try.

If you want to try to understand it, I suggest you read the AARM notes in 
3.7, particularly those following 3.7(10).

And if you succeed at understanding this, I suggest that you immediately 
join the ARG, because we could use the help. :-)
