I'm trying to figure out the best way to say this...

I think a downside of spending a lot of time in very (overly?) complex tools is that it messes with this radar.

If everything is complicated, then it's hard to see the difference between the problem being inherently complex and the tool/approach adding complexity you can avoid.

@noelrap it's almost the concept of "velocitation" in vehicles.

If you've been going so fast for so long, going a normal speed feels slow.

It's essentially a concept of I guess "relativity", where the complexity of things is based on the relative complexity of everything else around it.
