To me, this is reminiscent of the comparison between computer and human chess players. Computer players get a lot of their ability from the amount of look-ahead search they can do, applying their brute-force computational powers, whereas good human chess players actually don’t do that much search, but rather use their capacity for abstraction to understand the kind of board position they’re faced with and to plan what move to make.
The better one is at abstraction, the less search one has to do.
