The Value of Simplicity Over Accuracy

There actually is genuine value in simplifying things. You just have to be mindful of what accuracy you're losing, right? So there's an advantage of simplifying, but then you're going to lose some accuracy and it's about finding the right trade off imbalance for that. I think of this idea that I call value density, which is basically how much value are you delivering to your user or reader per minute. If you can make your thing half as long and increase the value density so that they get more value per minute, then that might be a worthwhile trade off. Whereas if by simplifying it that much, you actually give them less value per minute than you actually may have made
