maybe when working with a lot of abstractions, it makes sense to use
methods, that are all sent to the same inlet and inside the abstraction
[route]d apart again. it makes it also easier to debug, because you need
to create only one connection to one [print] in  order to see, which
message is sent in what orde to the abstraction.
