I don't want lifesaving devices to have simple designs, I want them to have designs sufficient and appropriate for the task at hand. "Reduced manufacturing cost by $0.25/unit" in a triple-digit-cost smoke detector is not something that I as a consumer care about.

My point is that sometimes, simplicity isn't about reducing manufacutring costs; it's about creating a better product.
