    .@felixsalmon In case I'm too quick to dismiss, I'll admit: complexity increases risk/uncertainty over simplicity. But sometimes unavoidable

        @Atul_Gawande Is surgery really crisis management? And, I do not think Cancer is avoidable by simply not smoking.

        @Atul_Gawande @felixsalmon It's smoke (complex finance) or don't (simple financial system). The best way to beat lung cancer is stop smoking

        @Atul_Gawande @felixsalmon Sure, but complexity in finance is (to some extent) a choice. The analogy isn't fighting cancer with surgery.

        @Atul_Gawande @felixsalmon wel the things that require complexity to fight complexity as in your surgery example decrease risk
