Well, I have. I did five years of hard-core assembly language programming on the Sigma 5 for a real-time medical data acquisition and analysis. I am quite familiar with how the hardware is classically built.
But it doesn't mean that it has to be that way. Everybody presumes that addresses are in binary, but this was not the case for many of the Burroughs machines, i think the 3500, just to challenge some assumptions.
So let me ask you a question in return: Are you familiar with the Burroughs B 1700?
And claiming that I have not done low-level programming is not likely to convince me that hardware is fundamentally necessarily procedural logic.
