A famous aphorism of David Wheeler goes: "All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection" (the "fundamental theorem of software engineering"). This is often deliberately mis-quoted with "abstraction layer" substituted for "level of indirection". Kevlin Henney's corollary to this is, "...except for the problem of too many layers of indirection." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indirection
