I think "examples might help" is valid feedback, but the author has sort of provided a reason why examples aren't included: in small projects the abstractions are usually worth it, was my read. So while the author could talk about examples, he probably couldn't include then in a piece of this size.
"Can we ban" is what has rubbed me wrong way. Who is "we". How are "we" "banning"? Does this just mean you don't agree with this post being highly upvoted? Or that you want to circumvent the opinions of those who upvoted with a "ban"?
It is interesting also to think about the irony of an argument that one should work in terms of concrete examples of the subject matter, in objection to a piece that argues one should not always abstract things.
Oh, you mean like some of Dijkstra's numbered papers? https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD10xx/E...
