I don't disagree -- I think that buffers are essential to flow (the real goal) but they need a whole-system view to find the not-too-little, not-too-much Goldilocks zone. An example discussed here is Bufferbloat with some WiFi devices having too large a set of buffers which caused problems with the dumb flow control of TCP sessions.
