At least in my experience, the defining characteristic of a person
who can program is the ability to think (comfortably) at widely
varying levels of abstraction, and shift from one to another quickly,
easily and fluidly.

For better or worse, however, that ability seems to be so rare among
most of the rest of the population that most don't consider even the
possibility that it could exist.
