It's not a weakness to integrate more information about the problem space into the solution. It's engineering. To _ignore_ information about the problem space is certainly a weakness, and is partly responsible why the Windows boot time appears to be a cosmological constant.
You want your solution to depend on the right abstract model of the problem, not on the particulars of the problem.
Otherwise your solution is difficult to extend, and is generally expensive and error prone to change when your problem changes, which happens with 100% probability.
If your data changes, your problem changes. We only ever solve particular problems, given the distribution, shape and density characteristics of input data.
