Understood, but the keyword (pun) here is "effectively". Why let a developer wait until runtime to find out his code will fail? At least by marking the class as final, anybody who wishes to subclass it will receive a compiler error. Rain on the parade early :-)
Paul, this is caught at compile time, since you can't call the private constructor. The "final" would be redundant.
