Likewise assembly abstracts over common gate arrangements and can make it 
difficult to see the real stuff going on. And when this abstraction is assumed 
to be atomic, it makes it difficult to see how to see potentially better 
alternatives. It's easy to confuse the symbol/category/abstraction for the 
thing, to confuse one useful pattern in the information for the information 
itself.
