Well, for-loops also aren't really the complexity that matters in a large app. I'd rather someone write for-loops yet aim for higher level simplicity.

Maybe you're overscrutinizing the trees.

Aaaaaa I'm not specifically talking about for-loops

perhaps you've 'complected' this thread. :)

I meditate. My goal is to be more at ease with my thoughts. I still get anxious and confused, but that doesn't make the effort any less worthwhile. Same thing with simplicity: it's a habit that you build into your work by degrees over time. We'll always come up short and have our blind spots, but that doesn't invalidate the worth of the effort.
