This seems akin to the saying that "everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler." Well, yeah. simplifying to that point isn't exactly easy. And, worse, the act of simplifying your code to fit this description is something that is usually done after you had it working. In other words, instead of solving another customer problem, many folks spin wheels "solving" their own "problems." Even worse, often the solution is taken to that simpler place that the saying warns against.
