If you think that fact that levels of abstraction give insight is a rebuttal to the OP, you don't under what he's doing. Understanding how the fundamental theory reduces to the abstraction (1) allows you to precisely know the limits of the abstraction and (2) allows you to port knowledge you have about one side to the other.
Like, this comment of your is a great example of the sort of confusion that arises when you don't understand the non-relativistic limit:
> Lol, so you've got a working theory to bridge the quantum and classical worlds? That is, you've figured out how to make general relativity and quantum mechanics emerge from a more fundamental theory?
