The one-liner is that 'simple' is 'complex' resolved. Often, we shift complexity to the back burner if we're trying to simplify a problem.
Even the tiniest feature of a software or a hardware unit comprises a 'system of systems' that work in concert with each other.
Keeping things simple has become hard nowadays. It takes discipline and rigor to simplify complex technology and user experiences.
The ethos of 'keeping it simple' emphasizes that while simplifying is essential, it requires a deep understanding of the underlying complexity.
