That may be true; however, it should be as simple as possible 
commensurate with performing its designated task.  Being elegant and 
precise is usually harder than being over-complex but always worth the 
effort.

To quote (or at least paraphrase) another mathematician (Pascal): "I 
apologise for writing you such a long letter, I did not have time to 
write a short one".
