And if you're going to cherry pick tiny slices, I'd rather pick the slice:

"SSH lets me communicate with a server securely, more simply than via Telnet."

By the same vein, HTTPS is "simpler" than HTTP in this regard.

Ditto for many possible BGP replacements.

That seems like wordplay, to me. Does a car make it "simpler" to travel 60 miles an hour down the freeway, compared to walking?

SSH is more complex and more secure than Telnet.
