It is unclear what are these "same" conditions. RFC 7234 5.2.2.6:

    The "private" response directive indicates that the response message
    is intended for a single user and MUST NOT be stored by a shared
    cache.

In my understanding Squid (as a shared cache) must not store "private"
responses at all (while user agents could). Is this correct? If yes,
currently Squid violates this MUST.

On the other hand, "no-cache" without field-names does not impose
constraints on storing in the cache, but restricts the cache to always
revalidate.
