I still don't get it. What existing abstractions did he display? What were they abstractions of?

  It is because he is using, "nominalizations." (A word which is a caricature of the very idea it represents). It is difficult to explain what he is talking about because he isn't talking about anything concrete. The word, "abstractions," is loaded with implicit meaning that he does not explain particularly well. I've found this post quite useful: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/23/zombie-nouns/ http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/23/zombie-nouns...

  You didn't note the abstracted component connectivity bit, where buttons got hooked up to other components and used as commanders?

    Can you concretely state what the abstraction you are describing is? In particular, what details does it hide or factor out?
