The leading approach to the simplex method, a widely used technique for balancing complex logistical constraints, can’t get any better. In 1939, upon arriving late to his statistics course at the ...

My understanding is that it doesn't matter whether the method is abstract or implemented, and #2072 added a unit test with an abstract method (an interface), so this was intended and not an oversight.
