El problema es que vivimos en una sospecha continua: «comunicación», «proyecto», «colaborativo», etc

The simple/complex pair for me is a good example.

They try to encapsulate a desireable property, while completely hiding what is the basis of their judgement.

For some, a sum of parts is seen as complex because of the sheer number. Some others would call it simple if each part is minutely defined. Some would say of something as simple if it is monolithic. It may hide internal complexity.

I agree with the words from both of you, but I’m not sure if I agree with your explanation, drew.

Most of the things here are hard to gauge, but even if they were easier, what I criticise here is their synonymy with “better” (I’ll try to give a couple of examples later)

But my question was not rethoric, I don’t really know what I find annoying.

I’ll add: simple, consistent, intuitive, scriptable

I think this post is about things that are desirable but hard to gauge. Especially hard for people without experience to gauge.
