The "line" is the point at which we've raised the floor so high that the advanced teams are hitting the ceiling. The ceiling is pretty darned high (and the GDC keeps raising it), so I don't think we're in danger of that any time soon.
I believe students get much more educational benefit from learning the system level point of view - "What can that do, and what can I do with it?" rather than "How does it do it?". I sent my students home with a homework assignment - "Pick your favorite sensor and think of 3 ways we can use it". The raised floor will allow them to spend more time on that thought and less time on the implementation.
