The biggest problem with complexity is that you have it. I applaud wanting to manage complexity, but there's a difference between managing complexity and simply hiding it.

You want the right information, summarized correctly, from the right source, to the right person, and just in time. We can barely, sometimes, do that if we're lucky with deterministic systems... We loose most of the control of any of these pieces in probabilistic systems. Maybe that works for you, but it feels like hubris to use it anywhere I might actually think I could use it.
