What he's touching on is Complexity Fallacy. (i.e. we "over-complexify" things). Why? "We often find it easier to face a complex problem than a simple one."[1] Humans also possess Simplicity Bias. (i.e. we "over-simplify" things). "Simplicity bias is a cognitive bias towards holding views which can be explained by a simple narrative."[2] Ironically, this very article may exemplify the Simplicity Bias to explain a Complexity Fallacy!! It seems the ultimate answer is the perennial, "know thyself." Practice self-awareness; and know which Bias you're leaning on, and more important, why you're leaning on it (in light of the goal).
