Simplicity on the other side of complexity is a measure of great design. Woodie Flowers talked about this in a kickoff presentation* a few years ago.
Craftsmen, athletes, artists, lecturers, barristers, engineers, or racing teams performing at the top of their games often make it look easy. That practiced ease comes only after a lot of hard work. It too is the simplicity on the other side of complexity.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
