Tesler's Law: Conservation of Complexity

This post is an interesting treatment of a phenomenon we should all be aware of: something is as complex as it is, and no less. To quote: "The important point here is that inherent complexity is inherent complexity."

When tying to reduce the complexity of a problem, there comes a point where you are no longer simplifying. You are just moving the complexity around. As Teh Spork has been known to say: "Ya gotta write it down somewhere," and "It takes what it takes." Seems apropos.
