Rob & Andy this is a key point (redistribution of complexity - does
this make us all socialists?). It is a key problem for us in dealing
with stakeholders. Biz folks see a simpler GUI, and think it should
be cheaper, but in fact is much more of an investment to do this type
of redistribution. I have found myself in the past ill-prepared for
the conversations that ensue between dev and biz as  have been
working on projects of simplifying GUI interactions in the past. It
is really important for biz folks to be given visibility into the
back-end workings so they really understand how complicated it is.
(BTW, I don't get the difference between complex and complicated. If
there is every splitting hairs, that feels like one. Its like saying
to a kindergarten student, what's the difference between yellow and
maize.)
