Sometimes I need to sleep on an abstract idea to fully get it. Just yesterday was in a product dev /brainstorm meeting starting with an abstract concept and three of us stalled when we kept finding competitors or roadblocks to our idea. This morning I had more clarity and an elegant solution came to mind.
And I never really thought about it but I too need to think through a real example before I can develop an abstract model.

My manager speaks in sweeping abstractions and metaphors and jargon (and also mixes metaphors and has a tendency toward malapropisms) and I never understand what they mean. Drives me crazy.
