While, as for me, I'm often too clever for my own good -- so, I have
to _achieve_ simplicity (rather than being born to it, or having it
thrust upon me), but that doesn't mean it's any less important to me
(indeed, _knowing_ that I _will_ get tangled up into convoluted
spirals of 'beautiful' complexity unless I watch myself carefully
is a strong motivation to STRIVE for simplicity at each step!-).

_Neat_!!! Looks like you're not as dumb as you make out, o
messenger of the primal serpent (or you wouldn't be punning
between hellenistic and pre-classical Greek, methinks...:-).
Us pythmen sure seem to come to simplicity by tortuous ways...
