  It just shows that the original article which spawned this thread is
naive. *In theory* you can have all kinds of fancy high-level uber-abstract
constructs which abstract away all the dirty internal details. *In practice*,
however, you still need those dirty details if you want any efficiency.
The fancy theories may be good in a big bunch of programs, but like so many
abstractions before, it's not the final silver bullet of programming.
