This is a refreshing way of looking at the world. One of my principles is to always strive for simplicity when creating, but i've never given much thought about how it applies to the fundamentals of existing creations or ideas when learning. In retrospect, I've learned many thing that I previously thought too complex to understand. The complexities tend to dissolve when you realise they are mostly just extra distractions emerging from the pressures of engineering the thing... distractions that you probably find yourself inventing all over again once you've assimilated the core idea.
