What I was trying to get at was that indeed many people
complain about very complex things being, well, complex. The problem is when things are =unnecessarily= complex. This often results from attempting to impose an inappropriate paradigm on the user interface, or from some limitations on the hardware, or from an ill-conceived idea of what "complex" means. (I have an answering machine that has just one button. It is a pain in the ass to use. The one that has ten buttons is lots simpler. Each button does one thing.

Jose Panel mount navigators are actually much more complex (and far less capable) than FMS/LNAV systems on high-end biz jets and modern airliners. This is the result of cost and panel space limitations in small, light aircraft. |
