Echo that sentiment. When I hear an overly complex solution or idea, I think that person either doesn't know what they are talking about or that the solution is for a hyper-niche situation. Usually, asking a few "Heilmeier-type" questions will lead to classifying the person in the former group.
And I admit to being a member of the former group myself, too often, I'm afraid.

These simple questions are excellent for understanding other projects, and I use them to keep my own projects on track. I also use them as the basic outline for presentations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Heilmeier#Heilmeier.27s_Catechism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Heilmeier#Heilmeier.27s_...
