This doesn't follow and is unfounded.
Seriously note that intuition is often wrong, dead wrong.
This is an important insight that folks, including myself,
tend to fight, but it MUST be accepted.
This is a big whopper in say the C++ vs C world. For instance,
since C++ is more complicated, how can it possibly ever result in
a faster or smaller or less complicated program? The answer is that
this question is misguided, even silly. It can and it does.
The thing is not to fight the logic, but to investigate why.

I'd thought you'd said the opposite, but in any event, since they are not
any more buggy, they are not any more trouble! 😉
