I don't really agree with this. We do people a dis-service if our goal is to simplify things rather than help equip people with the knowledge and skills they need to truly understand a subject.
Things can only be simplified and abstracted when there are people who are willing to get into the weeds and 'geek out' about the hard to understand and hard to explain stuff. A lot of that knowledge is hard earned, through great perseverance and personal discipline. There is joy in that which many people miss out on. I wish more people indulged in geeking out.
