Oh, I agree with that. What I meant was that "this doesn't mean there can't be objective criteria about what is simple and what is not; or that it's futile to attempt objective definitions of 'this is simple/this is not' ".
"Easiest for me right now", in my experience, only leads to simplicity in trivial cases. Simplicity requires intense thought & explorations, it's never easy (except, again, in trivial circumstances).
