And this is 100% right, but people should be educated about 
"premature abstraction". Have you seen the horrors of 
"generalization"?

Especially C++ neophytes get so excited by pointless 
generalization, then some grow out of it (studying other 
languages also helps) but some never do.

We write a lot about powerful techniques and neat applications, 
but often forget to show the perils and tradeoffs.
