the simpler version

Things should be made as simple as possible, but no simpler.

It's not how much coffe I drink, it's when I can get back to a computer that I can post to this board from.

I think that what I opined on in some earlier thread, now unlocatable, was some other, similar construction. The simpler version still looks wrong to me and, unless someone can come up with a reasonable rationale for its existence, I'm voting against it.
