The contrapositive is enlightening: "Any C or Fortran program that does not contain an ad-hoc, informally-specified bug-ridden, slow implementation of half of Common Lisp is insufficiently complicated."

Works for the famous Arthur C. Clarke quote too: "Any technology that is distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced."
