Abstraction considered harmful

From SICP:

We control complexity by building abstractions that hide details when appropriate

Which means that with abstraction the whole system will grow and bloat without the programmer noticing it.

Abstraction is never harmful.  Prove me wrong.

Even if shit is behind the abstractions, the very fact that it is abstracted means you can replace it.
