When confronted with a simple solution to a problem, many of us react with: "It can't be that simple!" Why? We are trained to believe that complexity adds authenticity or somehow validates what we are doing. Another concept is that without added layers of complexity, whatever our solution is supposed to handle won't fully cover all of the permutations of the problem. So we add complexity until we feel comfortable.
What if we let "it" be "that simple"? Remember, simple does not imply easy; but complex almost always greatly increases the difficulty of a task. So, if we kept it simple, than we will almost certainly decrease the level of difficulty; maybe not make it easy, but...
It can be that simple!
