I disagree. What seems simple enough may actually be the last piece to be figured out. We don't have as much knowledge about the fundamental blocks, atoms, as we would like, but that has seldom stopped us from building sophisticated applications using it. If anything, us not figuring out could only be an indication how inherently complex the nature can be.

In the early days of AI, before the winter, people thought that getting computers to play chess would be hard but walking or recognizing faces would be easy. Turns out that complexity is often not where we expect, except for a general tendency for more complex more macro-level things to be harder. Even then there are exceptions, but nutrition has not shown any signs of being one.

Yeah this really is not logical. You could have said this about so many things in the Dark ages - science, astronomy, government.
