I recommend updating the statement "the code block for the set accessor is executed when the property is assigned a new value" to remove the word "new". I interpret that to mean that the set accessor is only called if the value that's being provided is different than the value that the property currently contains. Of course that isn't true--the set accessor is called regardless of whether the value provided is a new value. It could just be semantics but that's how I interpret it.
