Doesn't that describe most good ideas in life? Things that are commonsense (especially after the fact), simple, seldomly well practiced because of human nature, and can be communicated in a few paragraphs but take years to understand?

Kindness, democracy, business, performance in sport, scientific method etc.

I don't know one good idea that can't be communicated in a page or less.

Of course it is hard work to distill something complex, but I have some naive intuition that it would actually be possible.

I think you misunderstood the comment.
