I don't think I said assembly is abstracted. It's pretty much just a translation.

Hexidecimal isn't binary. They're both just ways to represent numbers. A number displayed in hexadecimal and binary are the same number even though they look different. FF(base 16) = 1111 1111(base 2) = 255(base 10). They're all identical.
