Simplicity is a name for isolated complexity only if there is as little unnecessary complexity as possible? You can only contain intentional complexity. I think you are agreeing with me.


I think you're underestimating the amount of inessential unnecessary complexity in most software and systems designs. There is a lot that can be trimmed without touching required complexity.


Did I say anything contrary to what you just stated at any point? I literally said simplicity is an illusion, just a name for tamed complexity.
