2) The reason I care about not allowing the private address to work
directly is that, well, it is a private address and should not be
meaningful on the public network and why give clues to any hackers out
there?

What kind of clue do you give by allowing direct access with the private
address ? First, people can use it only if they already know it. Second,
what can they do with the private address that they could not already do
with the public address ?
Perhaps the confusion surrounding this interest was again clouded by my
attempt to keep my example simple -- I used 10.0.0.1, a reserved private
address, as my public IP address in my explanation while in reality the
public IP address is one that is valid on the Internet.
You could use instead the 192.0.2.0/24 range which is reserved for
documentation and examples.
