That is not what abstraction is about. Abstraction is having a simpler model to reason about, not simply code rearranging.

Again, that is still pretty much coding. What matters is the overall design (or at least the current module).

Imagine having a script and not checking the man pages for expected behavior. I hope the backup games are strong.
