For one understanding them well, they're simple - you're right
Interestingly, that applies also to algorithms and their implementation
Pilots get confused when showing too much complexity. They like it simple (anyone said KISS?
), because in the air and under stress you lose your ability to think in details
This is a very good additional argument of why the SS (under PF control) should be placed so that it can be seen - under stress, the visual contact with the SS, is the easiest way to know what's going on with it.
