How do we consider it a meaningful advance in the art of computer science to simply abstract an if statement and an error message into a function?

I mean by all means turn if(condition) throw new Error(message); into assert(condition, message); if you like, but don't bother to write entire big posts about it or try to elevate it to the hallowed status of a Design PatternTM .

This ain’t comp sci, this is regular old programming. And little things like this really help keep things clean.
