I think simplicity is one of things that is overlooked by intellectuals. Since many "intellectuals" don't want to educate anyone, only want to show-off how smart they are, no surprise tons of them acted like this. Their idea is: saying complicated things made them look smarter! Nope, just check some of these true intellectuals, they love simplicity.
