   “There are no simple answers”, he said simplistically.

   The power of the human mind comes from the ability to compress vast amounts of knowledge into simple principles. The Declaration of Independence. Einstein’s energy equation. Plate tectonics. That’s how we deal with a world of infinite details using a mind of finite capacity.

   The alternative to simplifying principles is to keep bumping into trees while denying the existence of forests, let alone of botany.

    If the answer isn’t beautiful in its simplicity… it’s probably not the right answer… mmmmmmmm… kraut dog with spicy mustard and a schooner of beer.

    I much appreciate pschearer’s input.

    However, I would like to point out the distinction between “simple” and “simplistic”.

    I would like to… but at the moment I can’t formulate what it might be.

    I like the variation on Murphy’s Law:

    No matter how complex the problem, there is always a simple, readily understandable, and easy to implement solution that is wrong….

    “simplistic answers to complex questions” That is the standard procedure for the gop.

    @OrfusJDog

    According to wiktionary, “simplistic” means…
    Overly simple; In a manner that simplifies the issue to a degree where many important details are lost

    I think that captures it well.

    @DigitalFrog, this is not Murphy’s law:

    (1) Murphy’s law is a comment (if possibly dubious) about the universe. This is a comment about human nature.

    (2) It is actually a well-known quote from HL Mencken, which goes, “For every complex problem there is an answer that is simple, neat, and wrong.”

    Mathematicians think deeply of simple things.

    I think simply (simplistically) of deep things…

    @Digital frog

    I recently learned that Murphy’s law wasn’t named after Murphy.
    Apparently it was named after another Irishman of the same name.
