So yes. I'm a big fan of avoiding the hand waving and garbage like that when describing/specing a product's behavior. Features are always more complicated than the elevator pitch, there are edge cases, points of integration with the rest of the system, etc. So yes, things are almost always more complex than they appear. But also, no, I've definitely seen a lot of companies with an insane headcount simply to "do more in parallel" or "deal with the complexity of the system". Sometimes, having too many people to keep busy is really bad.
