I've found that I can almost always make something simpler.  I've also
found that doing so beyond a certain point is always bad.  I call that
point "appropriate".  It's usually not close to "possible".

BTW - I've written large programs in several languages and in several
different problem domains, albeit not as many as Martelli.  And you?
