"control-freak" not necessary. For any known sequence/set of feature requirements it is possible to choose an optimal abstraction.
It's also possible to order the requirements in such a way, that introduction of next requirement will entirely invalidate an abstraction, chosen for the previously introduced requirements.
Most of the humans have trouble recovering from such a case. Those who do succeed are called senior software engineers.
