I like your explanation better. The general concept is hidden in the original essay. How did you figure out the generalization?
Reminded me of Bret Victor's dynamicland and this course on quantum computing: https://quantum.country/qcvc.
It's easy to forget that we can use all sorts of technology as mental crutches for making environments more kind and learnable.
