That's a myth. Transforming between natural and prefix notation is
trivial, loses no data, and is performed implicitly by just about
every compiler (since they all shift into the abstract tree form that
can become either). So there's no more "potential for abstraction";
any transformation you can do to one can be done to the other just as
easily.
