Another argument for immutable objects
Class is like a little program, it has data, it has code, it can be instantiated - like a program can be run. From the perspective of the object it's attributes are global. There can also be other variables - like parameters passed to the methods or other block scoped variables - those are local, but attributes are global. If they are immutable - they are like programs constants, but when they are changeable - they are like global variables. And we know that global variables are bad.
