Von Neumann told Shannon to call his measure entropy, since “no one really knows what entropy is, so in a debate you will always have the advantage.” Software wants to be simple. Software moves towards higher abstractions, not lower. Any attempt to reverse this may work in the short run but won't last in the long run. Abstraction is a defining trait of modern human behavior, and it shines in computer science.
