I think this gets to the next level of the problem. Some people (usually earlier in their career) really get attracted to weird shiny stuff. But in reality, discussions I have about arguing for simplicity have two opposing sides both basing on tried and true technologies in their opinion. I find a good solution is to have reviewers and outsiders who can give feedback, and generally trust them when they recommend avoiding something. (But I have seen the cases where this exact approach would have killed a crazy idea that became a huge success story later on) Almost everyone wants simple. But simplicity is subjective. My simple can be a touch screen and yours can be buttons and we would both be correct.
