It's a lesson that everyone learns eventually.

You cannot eliminate complexity (although you can minimize it, to be clear). But for most things, you can shuffle the semantics around, you can paper over them in a new way, but at the end of the day, someone has to pay the piper.

In my experience, complexity eliminated from one spot will invariably bubble up somewhere else in an unexpected way.
