Right, my point was more that thinking you can guess the simplicity of a solution based on the complexity of the tools used to build it is a bit misleading. If only because most simple tools are far more complicated than that allows.

Similarly, I would argue that using complex tools to build something generally results in less complicated outcomes. Our computers are basically evidence of that.

Yes, the modern world is a confusing thing.

Difficulty of use and reliability don't seem to have any relation to complexity on mass-distributed products. Costs depend almost exclusively on scale, and not on inherent properties.
