Our understanding of anything in the Universe, from stars to genes, reflects the complexity of our knowledge. Of course, this includes ourself, our relationships, our career choice and our knowledge of Nature, herself.
When one says that "it's simple," we can be assured that they have a very limited understanding of the subject. The more complex our knowledge of something or someone, the closer we are to the truth.
The scientific method is our path toward truth. Mysticism, on the other hand, mires us in simplicity.
