I noticed. Try cutting back on it a little, please?
The statement "computers are complex" is meaningless, because a computer
can be programmed to do anything:
Actually, any system that can be programmed do to anything must
necessarily be complex. Irrespective of the program, a CPU is complex
at the hardware design level.
This violates every definition of "complex" (in the "complex system"
sense) that anyone has ever tried to construct.
You have uttered this completely false statement over and over again,
and to make matters worse you have phrased it in insulting terms from
the beginning.

- If it is programmed to do nothing except write out the text string
"humpty dumpty" forever, then it is not complex.
Did you miss the bit where I granted "Hello World" as an example of a
non-complex program?
- If it is programmed to emulate a standard example of a complex system,
it is complex.
Or if it's programmed to do anything useful.
