100% agreed with nosa101 There is a saying we physicists have: "The most simple solution is always the best solution" An excellent example of this would be the concept of a simplified formula Eg. for day to day use what would you prefer: p = m*a/(pi*r^2) and then arbitrarily fill in each variable or constant Or simply: p = F/A Simplicity might be limiting, but complexity is only useful if it is specifically required.
