It’s not about being wrong or right. Use whatever distinction helps you.

So…am I considered wrong to say that Sophisticated is a manageable complication but Complicated is unmanageable sophistication?

According to the dictionary, sure. The way I define it here, no. They look the same to the untrained observer, but I am making the distinction between the two as a useful tool to think from. I could argue that NOTHING is complex or sophisticated because they are just words. One person’s complex is another person’s easy or simple.

Sophisticated IS complex and or highly complicated
