Which is more complex - an apple or an internal combustion engine? Tis a trick question. The actual complexity experienced by humans depends on the job they are trying to do with the object. If you are a botanist/arborist driving to work, then clearly it is the apple. If you are a mechanic on your lunch break, then clearly it is the engine.

Inherent complexity is often ignorable, but bugs can and will sit anywhere. So, yea the fact an apple is vastly more complex than an engine is not always relevant, but when it is relevant you have real issues.

  Bugs are much more likely to be in the apple.
