Then (yes) we start attacking problems we would shy from without such powerful tools. Instead of thinking "that would be insane to code up" we think "oh yeah, can of corn" (if you know your baseball jargon). So maybe it is not that our ability increases so much as a powerful language liberates that ability. Indeed, many who discover powerful languages did so through an active search for a better language, knowing they were being held back by their current tools.
