It's not really about Rule 30 specifically. It's more about Rule 30 being a particularly simple example, probably, of Wolfram's Principle of Computational Irreducibility.

From what I can tell, he'd love to drop that "probably", or move on from Rule 30 to the next simplest system that could possibly work.
