I had the same impression long ago.

Many things in physics are simply way to complicated, because I just 
don't think, that nature needs such complicated rules.

Nature should work on a fundamental level very simple and should 
therefore require only a few simple rules.

These fundamental principles should, however, generate a plethora of 
different patterns, which we find in nature.

But the building blocks themselves should be few and simple.


If you (for instance) had found such 'building blocks' (say in the 19th 
century) and utilized them for your own benefit, you certainly want 
others to search somewhere else.

In the meantime you could acquire tremendous wealth and make yourself a 
member of the establishment (established by your wealth).

But you need to divert competition into unpromising realms and feed your 
competitors with unproductive nonsense.

This should be done 'en masse', because it wouldn't help, if these 
others would find out of the swamp anytime soon.
