I don't see that term being abused very much. Is there an endemic of people using the term "abstract" like a child that I'm unaware of?

I suspect that there is a tendency for people to use the term "tl;dr" when what they're looking for is "abstract". But I don't know if that's what EliRivers had in mind.
