  What do you mean by "deceptively simple".?

    not OP, but I think this usually means it's simple to get something naïve working, but to get something production ready it can get tricky. Eg stuff like quad/oct trees

      The data structures themselves have an overhead you have to manage. It can also go beyond tree structures too and get into advanced hashing.

    seems simple but isn't. That's what I've always understood it to mean.
