What Dave is getting at here is that design isn't so much about
simplicity as it is about clarity.
Simplicity is a lack of complexity. It is easy to make the simple
clear. It is difficult to bring clarity to the complex. Design isn’t
about making the complex simple—it is making the complex understandable.
Best,
Jack

The problem with the word simple is that its opposite is really
complex, but we aren't in the game of removing complexity and in
fact the ways we achieve good designs are actually through really
complex methods.
