There are those who just want a black box, and then there
are those who want to know how it works internally for
better use.

I believe the leaning of the second group of people is more
efficiency and in the longer run they will go father.

Computer programing - in its purist form of practicing -
needs to *prove* the programs work in the way those programs
were specified. Such proof is almost impossible when a black
box has been used.
