His observation wasn't about complexity, though. It was about physics.
In terms of complexity, a slice move is less complex than a face move
because it leaves corners (collectively, the most complex pieces)
untouched.
In terms of physics, a slice move is more involved than a face move
because it involves movements along two cut planes instead of one.
