Well it all gets down to definitions and its more of a rule of thumb. However, I'm very suspicious of ideas that seem to be good only because the complexity gives them a certain gravitas. Its sort of a version or expansion (or misappropriation) of Gall's law:
“A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked. The inverse proposition also appears to be true: A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be made to work. You have to start over, beginning with a working simple system.”
