Simple not always simple

Caught this quote at Scripting News:

"In tech, when someone says something is complicated, check it out, they're probably trying to confuse you. That's why I called it Really Simple Syndication, as a clue. If it's really simple, what could be confusing?"

A corollary perhaps: 

In tech when something is labelled simple it is not necessarily so.

Sometimes it is a deliberate attempt to confuse or wishful thinking (or some historical artifact or holdover from when it actually was simple).

Take "Simple Sequencing" in SCORM 2004 for instance -- unfortunately far from simple.

I guess the "can't tell a book by it's cover" adage (or don't judge a spec by its name?) applies.
