True, but you're using so many abstractions that the rule can't feasibly be "read a short summary of every abstraction you're using." There are just too many. At some point you have to choose a threshold where the likelihood of an abstraction leakage is sufficiently low. When you're debugging a CSS selector you will almost certainly never need to know about even the existence of, say, Fermi–Dirac statistics.

Some topics are more stable and valuable then others, so prioritisation helps. “How utf8 generally works” vs “implementation details of js-node-utf-related-library-X.”
