We give a refinement calculus with rules that tell the designer how to come from the abstract specification to the implementation such that the system under development only becomes more concrete but not more abstract; under-specification is eliminated by adding more information.
It is arguable that Sidgwick, too, gave most weight to intuitions about abstract moral principles like those Moore cited in Ethics, citing more concrete judgements only in ad hominem arguments against opponents.
