    Not a bad take per-se, but a bit condescending. While I agree and like the KISS paradigm, remember that no solution works at a lower complexity level of the problem itself.

    Is it really simpler? Yes. Will it scale if I need it to? Maybe not, but will I really need for it to scale?

    And so on.
