To agree on this inside of a broader context: I would argue that there are so many abstractions in language (“good”, “evil”, “god”, even less lofty things such as “color”, “heat”, “weather”), science ("gravity" would probably an arguable but interesting example as well as one that came up recently with a neighbor of mine), and even basic functional things (including “plumbing”, “electricity”, and even “computers” at quite literally every level of understanding above mathematics), so in keeping all of that in mind possibly our entire sense of being and living in the world would be completely debilitating without making use of an innumerable amount of abstractions. That said there are always valid arguments against the use of particular abstractions, as they can be seen in practice as being largely more detrimental that helpful. Many make this argument against "god". My High school physics teacher made the argument against the use of “centripetal force.” I myself like to remind people that they probably know far less about the world around them than they think simply because that have replaced conceptual knowledge with a definition and categorical knowledge. Though at the end of the day, I feel that abstractions in general are quite harmless, as long as you are aware of the fact that they are just that “abstractions.”
