I would like to completely understand the compiler, the standard library, the kernel, the firmware, every single transistor on my CPU. They are not different from Firefox. I would like to be able to mentally trace a single key press down to an understanding of particle physics. I would like to understand my own brain to the best degree possible, both in order to prevent common errors and to better be able to maintain and operate in my world. This is not reductio ad absurdum, this is exactly my goal, and I would argue this should be the goal of all thinking creatures.
