No no no.  This is my point.  The final keyword has special semantics 
associated with it in that particular case.  It works a bit like the 
volatile keyword: all writes to that point are made visible.  In the 
case of a private final field, the writes are made visible to ALL 
THREADS in the system.  THAT is what makes instances of the class 
Stooges immutable.

That's why no synchronization is needed.  Which is huge, conceptually. 
I'll stop there because I think this may be the whole point of 
misunderstanding here.
