It turns out that when you abstract away the complexity of a system, people have no idea how it works.

This is also true of modern vehicles. Who cheers when realizing that the motion of Li+ ions moving across a 10 micron thick polymer membrane pulls electrons into a swirly motion through the atomic orbitals of copper to create an electromagnetic wind that can propel tires to spin fast enough to get you from 0-60 in 2 seconds.
