I'm saying that some things can't be made easier because they cover
fairly complex territory, even there are plenty of less complex
applications that do _not_ require specialistic knowledge.

The only analogy I can come up with is that you would be complaining
that the rules of precedence are too complex and should be made
simpler, but I'll be the first to admit that that analogy is flawed.
