The last time intel made a CPU where the entire thing could fit in one persons head was probably the 8086 or thereabounts.
There is no one developer or engineer at apple that understands everything going on from key press to bits moving around to print the characters I see when I type in this text box.
Correct. There are people who understand more and less and none of it. The latter are called script kiddies.
