That ordering just states that you should not sacrifice security for simplicity. As long as two solutions are equally secure, the simpler one is better, but not when simpler one is less secure. > Simpler solutions tend to be easier to rationalize/debug, leading to systems that are more maintainable, more reliable, and generally more secure (see OpenBSD). Yeah, IF they are more secure, THEN use simpler solutions.
