Right. You can't hide the detail with a wave of the hand, you can definitely overcommunicate detail that is unnecessary, but the art of it is finding a way to explain the bit that matters in a way that makes it clear to the users that you're eliding detail that isn't important, without misleading them. There is a very fine example of this in cinema -- the senior partners meeting in Margin Call, where Zachary Quinto's character has to explain why the firm needs to sell all of a particular asset class: [VIDEO] One day I will use the line Jeremy Irons uses in this clip. I don't want to spoil it by quoting it.

Oh man, what a fantastic film. It's a been a while since I saw Margin Call, but I still feel like it's one of the films that best captured the 2008 financial crisis. Jeremy Irons' portrayal of a Goldman CEO-like character — I think he's the one who delivers the line you quoted — remains probably the most convincing portrayal of that type of person I can remember. The wonderful board room scene: [VIDEO]

The movie "Margin Call" has an excellent scene where this happends: [VIDEO] It is clear how it is setup that "to survive we must act now, not in a week, and we must do this expensive sell-off" The whole movie is very well worth watching: [LINK]
