Yes, it's a mistake to go too far, but you don't know how far is too far
till you really push it. I'd rather we erred on the side of
oversimplification, because we have a big chorus of detailed analysis
that will point out the mistakes. There are fewer voices for simplicity
in free software than voices for options / codebaths / buttons / gadgets
/ hacks / gconf settings :)
