You're both saying that the private companies do not need to be purchased by the major companies for the special power (hex blocking) to be abrogated. Both of you are saying that owning private + major will allow major to lay track in the blocked hex.

The difference is when the blocked hexes become open to companies of other
players.  Martin says it happens when the private is bought in.  I said no,
it happens at the first 3-train purchase -- and the privates can never be
bought in, period.
