This sentence makes zero sense. Limiting choices inherently makes things LESS complex. That's why we use frameworks for decision making and risk assessment, rather than just doing everything "analog and free form"; it's the same reason we do "structured training" for complex and difficult tasks, rather than just let people try to figure them out. It's just a completely wrong and backwards statement.

"Do you want me to kick you in the face, or the groin?" is a substantially more complex choice than "Do you want me to kick you in the face, or the groin, or not at all?" Sometimes, limited choices require you to shoehorn something into one of those available choices when it's not actually appropriate. Such is the case with medical record systems at times.

- giantDinosaur 6y agoIf I limited your choice to answering questions in binary yes/no, do you really think that makes things less complex than a free form & lucid description of an issue/procedure? Perhaps if you are communicating exclusively with a machine..!
