This reminds of a quote by Nikola Tesla: “The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.” I always preferred clarity over "cleverness" not just in programming, but also when say reading a book on a technical subject. Clarity evokes feeling of beauty I would dare say.

“Simplicity is a great virtue but it requires hard work to achieve it and education to appreciate it. And to make matters worse: complexity sells better.” - Dijkstra
