#8403 — Complexity is the major enemy of quality

Hello,

Read this:

I am a more "serious" computer programmer, in computer programming we 
say the following:

"Complexity is the major enemy of quality."

But when we say it, it is "inherent" to this affirmation that it
is not a causality, that means that complexity does not cause lack
of quality, because it is as if we are doing correlation in
statistics, correlation doesn't mean causality, because
other "variables" external to the observable system may cause causality,
so in the above system that is the affirmation of:  "complexity is the 
major enemy of quality.", does not mean that complexity is the cause of
lack of quality, because this is an inconsistent system to say so, 
because the "right" and "correct" system must take into account the 
other variables that fight the disadvantages of "complexity" such as 
efficient reusability that brings more quality or the like, so hope you 
are understanding better.



Thank you,
Amine Moulay Ramdane.

So you believe in hidden variable theories. Interesting.

There is an inherent problem with defining complex systems.
If it is not fully specified, then the implementor WILL
make one or more incorrect choices. Therefore there is a
causal link.

Enjoy,
