When I read the quote from the Pedestal site, it echoes to me similar quotes:

    “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”

or

    “Any darn fool can make something complex; 
    it takes a genius to make something simple.” 

or

    “Every solution to every problem is simple. 
    It's the distance between the two where the 
    mystery lies.” 

or

    “Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious 
    and adding the meaningful.”

or

    “Simplicity is ultimately a matter of focus.” 

or maybe even

    “I would have written a shorter letter, but I 
    did not have the time.”

When I read the title of this thread I see none of these.

note: the title is now fixed, but I'll keep these quotes here
