I guess that was a poorly chosen word on my part then. How about 'elegant'.

  "Elegant" does't mean "right" either. But with elegant code it is often easier to tell if it's not right, and also how to get it right if it's not. Often that requires making it less elegant, because the real world rarely poses elegant problems. You want to ensure that as much as possible of the necessary inelegance is at the top level, with everything below clean.
