If people did the super simple stuff, we'd have boundless peace, prosperity, liberty.

I remember a story - stop me if you've heard this one - about a God helping out a group of desperate people, freeing them from slavery, parting seas, feeding them in the desert. They were camped at the foot of a mountain with the God right there on top - right there! And they built the golden calf anyway. And that rule seems easier than all the other 9. WTF did they even need a golden calf for?

So sadly, the criteria of simplicity is irrelevant - people will find a hard way to do it.
