It sounds like you have personal experience in this. I hear you. From what I have observed through code reviews that I, or others, have looked at that doesn't happen with my code unless there is a very fundamental shift. Even then I try to keep my inputs and outputs clean so that pieces can be removed if need be. Of course I am not always as successful as I would like to be. Now my first 2-4 years, that happened a lot, and I am not going to claim that I was fast. I was slow and either the code review would point something out that I would literary have to start from scratch or the next person that touched it would have to. This was actually the driver for me to focus more on simplicity. I basically discovered a direct correlation between complexity and how bad my code was. To this day, if I catch myself doing something overtly complex it's a sign that my solution to the current problem is inadequate. Ironically, my response would be the same if my code was trash. So I won't be able to convince you regardless.
