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.)
