[Silly aside] So, the highest level of abstraction is that used by management, since it obviously causes the hiring and firing of programmers, regardless of the languages they use. We've adopted things like Dilbert to point out how silly they are, perhaps it's just because we can't do the 4d chess they do.

You'd have to violate Gödel's incompleteness theorem to do so.
