Sometimes innovation is radical simplification.

The nautical astrolabe, key to long-distance voyages like Magellan's, was a radical simplification of the intricate planispheric medieval astrolabe, pioneered by the Portuguese.

The statement is a lighthearted comment highlighting the evolution of navigation technology from astrolabes to GPS. It does not engage in substantive public discourse.
