Simple ≠ simplistic

We aim to make complex information simple and easy to understand. That’s simplicity: when you can identify what’s essential and eliminate the rest. Simplistic on the other hand is when you treat complex issues as if they were much simpler than they are. There’s a clear distinction. Complexity is never eliminated but can only be reduced or concealed. Or in the words of Albert Einstein:

“Everything should be as simple as possible, but not simpler”.
