There are plenty of complex systems with complex problems but deceptively simple solutions. Those solutions might be difficult to implement, and might have nasty little details, but they're still simple enough to sum up in one sentence. For example, back in 1911, the problem was "monopolies", and the answer was "regulate the maximum size of a corporate entity."
I'm not saying that this particular problem has a simple solution. I'm saying that we shouldn't throw out ideas because they seem too simple. And, of course, the more angles we have on the problem, the better.
