I disagree. I'm a devops engineer, meaning I build tools for developers. Developers who build tools for security engineers. My job is 3 layers of abstraction away from some one making a decision.
Abstraction and distillation help you make decisions faster and in a more decentralized manner.
For example, my farm. I don't actually know the health of my flock, but I can look at each sheep everyday for a few seconds. Over time I've built up a model of what healthy is and notoce when one is skinny or struggling but this is just a model abstracting a quantitative measure of each animal (fecal worm count, body weight, etc.) Into a qualitative one (the flock looks healthy).
