Oversimplified

The modern-day equivalent of a PhD in History from a top University. At least, according to the arguments I've read on Youtube.

Person 1: In Oxford yet?
Person 2: No need, I've watched Oversimplified WW2.

Oversimplified:
"Wow, great job Ethan, very impressive. By the way. What happened to that other guy we sent to take the fort?"
"Who?"
"Benedict Arnold."
"Never heard of him."
"Ouch."

overcomplification 

The procedure or taking something easy or simple and turning it into an perplexing labyrinthine cluster F*** that accomplishes the exact same thing you already had...

I used browse out to our software drive and run setup to install the software the user requested. Then put the computer name in a spreadsheet and I was done. 15 minutes… Tops.

Now I have to do this:
First run the C++ requirement separately…
msiexec /i \\Shares\Software\Microsoft\Runtimes\MS Visual C++ 2010 SP1\extract\vc_red.msi /qn

Then run the installer for Adobe…
msiexec /i \\Shares\Software\Adobe\AIP-AcrobatXIPro11.0.4\AcroPro.msi TRANSFORMS=\\scwa.loc\Shares\Software\Adobe\SCWA_XI_Pro_License.mst /qb

"It's not working?" Say's the “Genius” that set it up and now can’t figure out how to fix it…

That’s OVERCOMPLIFICATION!
