The simple cases are intuitive. Applying the intuition to the complex
cases is difficult.
Or, to phrase it differently, parallelism and loose coupling are
intuitive just like subroutines are intuitive. And unlike (say)
hashtables and skip graphs being unintuitive.
But if you don't know what a hashtable is, all the explanation in the
world isn't going to tell you how to make a distributed hashtable robust
against attackers who can take out selected nodes.
