DO WE ever over-complicate things?

I recently read the following story...


Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. As they lay down for the night, their conversation drifted to:

Holmes: "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Watson: "I see millions and millions of stars."
Holmes: "And what does that tell you?"
Watson: "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Theologically, it tells me that God is great and that we are small. Meteorologically, it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"
Holmes: "Watson, you bonehead. Somebody stole our tent."
