I think it was Kelly Johnson who said "Make things as simple as possible, but no simpler." Same sort of adage, you
really don't know where the line is unless you cross it (or unless you pay attention and do what you are told!)

As much as I admire and respect Kelly, I believe that line was said
earlier by Albert Einstein.
