There is always a LESS organized way to do something, but that's not what you want. There is also a more CLEVER way to do anything, and you don't want that either. The goal is to make things is as organized and stupidly simple as possible... so boring that opening any file at any level you sigh "yep, that's what I thought it would look like" instead of "WTF?!"

corollary: sometimes being maximally organized/extensible/unclever makes something incredibly complicated or even unmaintainable

I think it might make it overly verbose, and perhaps repetitive, but not so much complicated. I think the max would be something like assembly language... super straight forward, but could easily be made more readable with a bit of organization.
