A proper Copernican Shift massively clarifies things.

Before the shift, you have to keep on glomming on complications to make the old model fit with reality.

Things like epicycles and other curlicues in your model.

The only way to make the model fit with observed reality is to heap more and more complexity on it.

Climbing the wrong hill at greater and greater expense.

But when you flip to the correct model, a ton of complexity falls away.

A cleaner model of the world as it actually exists.

How much of the complexity of software today are epicycles and curlicues on top of laws of physics that don't match how users actually want services to work?
