That's a tautology. You're saying that we shouldn't fix the complexity and bloat that gives rise to bugs because we'd have to fix the complexity and bloat that gives rise to bugs. We landed on the moon with a reliable computer and reliable software in the 1950s. What software that you've written is "far more complex" than that? (Personally, I'd posit that a lot of the complexity is the ten or fifty layers of framework and language and library between the programmer and the computer. But I digress...)
