I have this private coroutine in my WinDialogue script:

private IEnumerator ActivateStars(int count) { for (var index = 0; index < count; index++) { _stars[index].SetActive(true); yield return new WaitForSeconds(.3f); } } 

And somehow I’m still able to call it from my UIManager script:

_winDialogue.GetComponent<WinDialogue>().StartCoroutine("ActivateStars", starCount); 

How can that be if I marked it as private?
