It might have been...I've been re-reading all of my books front to back of late...just for good measure.
I think mostly, the author was talking about hitting the point of diminishing returns. When ever I start fighting for that last level of depth....I usually tip the scale toward the muddy end.
I am certainly not saying that a complex recipe is not do-able, but IMO, A Belgian could only be cloned at it's original brewery. They seem to rely heavily on local factors for much of the nuances.
Someone smarter than me...but it would be cool to simplify a recipe like this, and see how close the 2 come. Forget the Belgian clone...see if you can clone a complicated recipe with 25% fewer ingredients.....

Off to do more research.......
