This is actually a narrow statement.
Look yourself in a mirror. Do you even comprehend yourself? You're an incredibly big bunch of cells, of which only very few of them have any chance of continuing on. If you're male, it's not even real continuation, it's just part of a molecule.
We're hardwired to seek out and go with the most superficial of models, I guess because that's the most efficient way to go about in life.

If we understood the human body in its entirety like we understand computers, we could probably cure cancer & aging. Our capacity to write correct software depends entirely on being able to build mental models of how the machine works. The deep stack of buggy crap that we just take for granted these days makes software development harder. The less understandable and the less deterministic our computers, the worse products we build. And the less effective craftsman we become.
