My position is different: abstraction is good. As long as you understand the lower layers and are able to manipulate them if needed.

I agree. Leaky abstraction is the only time you have to worry about being too high level.

All abstractions are leaky though, and I'm sure one could use Gödel's Theorem to prove that.

Leaky for what you are working on. Newtonian physic is a leaky abstraction for planets but works fine for bridges.
