I mean, Java compiles down to a byte-code, which can be decompiled. If that were a limitation of decompilers at a time, it's likely not now. There's no way to "hide" instructions.

You can hide them in the sense that it's very difficult to find the 100 instructions and correct state machine out of the millions of instructions and possible states.
