If you go to a newsgroup on Ada and (effectively) ask the residents to
provide you with evidence that they are foolish you can't expect a
totally happy response!
Did your boss really say (in paraphrase) "Find me evidence that Ada is
too complex"? sounds very closed-minded to me! Can't see why one would
want such except to compare with other languages, in which case see
Robert Dewar's remarks.
