I am reminded of a quote by Mark Twain: "Humor can be dissected, as a frog, but the thing dies in the process, and the innards are of interest only to the purely scientific mind."
The Lamport quote does the same thing, but to software. The thing died in the process.

I feel the opposite. By understanding what software is at its core, I can both appreciate it more, and build it better.
