No. Look to safety-critical software for intuition on why. Simpler is more reliable. Also, it's hard to know enough about a problem to make a generic solution

No. Look to safety-critical software for intuition on why. Simpler is more reliable. Also, it's hard to know enough about a problem to make a generic solution until you've solved the problem 2-3 times already. But ... having solved a problem multiple times increases the risk that you will be biased towards seeing new problems as some instance of the old problem and therefore applying unsuitable "generic" solutions.
