Well, umm...  If I reword it a little:

"the ability to model a problem in terms of the subject domain, and
then without having to go through the disorienting process of
translating each technical requirement of that need (of which there
could be many) solve that problem in a way that makes the whole thing
act the way the user expects it to".

Isn't...  that what all of programming is about?  And what does it
have to do with "scaling".  What are the different "scales" involved?
What's changing size?  Certainly.... what does it have to do with
"enterprise" computation as opposed to just plain old computation?
