Lying vs. Simplifying – Ready? Fight!

Lying and simplifying aren’t the same. In fact, they’re not even friends-in-law. They’re archenemies. That’s right. Think Batman and The Joker, Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan, Glenn Beck and Rahm Emanuel.

But far too often in our quest for UI Zen, we fall into the bottomless pit of lies, lies, lies.
