The comedy numbering ironically enhances the article :-), but I found this simple statement to be very true "The complexity of the system comes from the aggregation of many simple parts, not from any complex parts." In fact, in one of my side projects outside work (and one which will be open source and subject to the court of public opinion in due course), this has been something I have considered very important. I'm always impressed how simple language can convey such vital concepts about such complex matters.
