Oh, it certainly does. My point on the "one abstraction" was just how fraught that idea is.
On the train home I thought of a retort to the idea of all of this. When it comes to describing a system, there are really only two things I care about. The inputs and the outputs. Anything that obscures either of these in relation to the other is just going to get in the way at some point.
I used to call programming web pages the act of building a giant Rube Goldberg machine where you mix several inputs into building out a web page. I still feel this way, to an extent, but I am hopeful of simple solutions that do not obscure where data comes in and how it goes out. (If that makes sense.)
