Maxims of reliable complex systems: "the complexity you add to a complex system to prevent failure is itself a major source of failure."

Not sure what you mean. It was always called 'Bitcoin is Worse is Better'. That's what sparked it, when I noted on IRC that Bitcoin was very obviously a case of worse is better and no one knew what I meant.

I was referring to your "complexity to prevent failure is a cause of failure" claim above -- that's an argument for worse is better, and why I brought it up before.
