Perhaps, but doesn't the fact that a piece of code has bugs imply that it wasn't actually written as cleverly as possible?

The code may not be buggy, but may surround bugs, thus the non bugged code still has to be debugged/understood. The easiest code to debug is the code that's never written (fastest too).

Juniors/freshers never get this and always try to impress with their cleverness. KISS will always be true.

No, the presence of bugs in a piece of code only implies that that piece of code exists. ;-)
