Speaking of failures traceable to levels of abstraction. "The hacking was rather discrete and would most likely never had be discovered where it not ..." should be "The hacking was rather discreet and would most likely never been discovered were it not ...". The abstraction at fault here? Spell checkers. It's not enough to know how to look for the squiggly red lines under words, it's necessary to know what words mean. As Jerrold H Zar put it: Eye halve a spelling check her, It came with my pea sea. It plane lee marks four my revue Miss steaks aye kin knot sea. https://arnold.hosted.uark.edu/Other/ZarOde.pdf https://arnold.hosted.uark.edu/Other/ZarOde.pdf
