  • 75% delete It's not a complete invention of that blog, at least; found one article that also uses the term in this regard [1], but no more than that. Certainly doesn't seem to be in widespread use and sources actually defining it seem absent.-- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 20:28, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

  • Delete - A trivial or common-sense concept given a wordy title doesn't make it noteworthy. The phenomenon described here has little to do with complexity, and it is not a paradox. It's just someone's attempt at a witty observation. I wouldn't call it spam, though. Jergling (talk) 22:03, 19 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
