Sure, and my comment in no way disallows that. My point is that there seems to be an assumption that complex behavior comes from complex rules, vs. the complexity of the behavior being assumed to have no necessary relation to the complexity of the rule-set. As such, we go in with an inherent bias of expecting complex rules, which leads the rules to often appear simpler than they are.
