A commercial program can be though of as having two layers. It parts
(libraries) and the final binary, which is sold to the end customers. The
developer of the program should know what is in the parts. The normal
customer only needs the binary to execute the program. This is analogous to
a computer board. The normal end customer purchases the board and really has
very little knowledge about the chips. The board designer must have detailed
knowledge about the chips.

How is that? Am I missing something?
