"All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection" —Butler Lampson, quoting David Wheeler

"... except for the problem of too many layers of indirection." (David Wheeler's corollary)

...except too many levels of indirection.

I think you can solve that, to some degree, with a cache (if it's performance that's troubling you) or a simplified facade (if it's the complexity of the deep stack).

Yes, those are indirections.

Then you have cache invalidation problems (one of the two known hard problems in CS), as well as impedance mismatch issues with your facade.
