I understand the argument but think this is a straw man based on my experience. The issue isn't so much that people can't decide on the level of detail, it's that the diagram is drawn only once or in most cases never.

A dataflow diagram for example is mostly self constraining in scope.

Automating it is another problem entirely and I agree it has a lot of hard challenges.
