I am not a brilliant writer (which I already knew, even though loads of people have commented on that), but I was trying to get an idea I had in my head onto paper. I wanted to explain that this abstraction is not as good as it is being advertized and does have its limitations. It's not a criticism of the concept, but its application to a bunch of problems.
