Every developer has a different idea of what complex code means. Cyclomatic complexity is one metric, but vastly different code could have the same score. Sometimes we have to trade simplicity for flexibility, speed, or other goals.

The idea that you can prove code complexity shows that you are a newer developer. I'm not sure what goal you want to achieve by proving someone else wrote complex code. There are probably better ways to achieve that goal.
