I interpreted this as advocating for using a model with the lowest-level abstraction that you think will work. If you start with the simplest abstraction possible, you produce a simpler and more maintainable system. You're also in a better position to incorporate further abstraction later as your understanding of the problem space evolves. This seems like a good opportunity to recommend Rich Hickey's talk "Simple Made Easy": https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy
