In software we try to break this. We try to allow people to get a lot out of the technology without necessarily investing much effort into understanding or learning about it. In this sense we are trying to make software unlike a sewer.
Hmm. I'm sure someone with a good sense of humor and a gift for writing could make a really funny routine out of this.
