Although now I question my original statement -- is a single logic gage made out of crabs clearly less complex than a crab? I mean, it's made out of multiple crabs, how can it be less complex than one crab? As a software engineer I'm so used to thinking abstraction, that I just sealed it off as a "a logic gate, don't look below the covers". A logic gate made of crabs is a "leaky abstraction" when the crabs start dying, need to be fed, etc.
