Indeed. Without information hiding, with N entities, you have O(N^2) possible interactions between them. This quickly outgrows the human capacity for managing the interactions. With information hiding, you can set up a layered approach, and the interactions are usually down to something between O(log N) and O(N log N). Now that's far more manageable.
