> Life is complex, technology should support that. We should not have to dumb life down to match.

This sentence implies that the opposite of "complex" is "dumb", though.

Ignoring that this is pointless pedantry, I don't really think so. I think it says that complex is on the high end of the scale, and dumbing something down slides it towards the low end of simple.
I think things can be simpler without being dumb.
