“When you’re forced to be simple, you’re forced to face the real problem.” –The Explanation

(Taken from the essay Taste for Makers)

When you’re forced to be simple, you’re forced to face the real problem. When you can’t deliver ornament, you have to deliver substance.
— Graham P. (2002) Taste for makers

It’s like I had this sentence in the back of my brain for years. Now I have a good citation for it.
