I feel the same way, but we both have to accept that we're tilting at windmills. Complexity can't be measured, so there's no way to demonstrate, much less prove, that the time you spent reducing complexity was time well spent. You can demonstrate a run time or memory performance improvement. You can demonstrate a new feature. Unless you can reduce complexity in zero time and do so without introducing any unintentional side effects/bugs, you're just hurting yourself when you try.
