Complex or Complicated

I have had some biting comments about how silly I am to make a distinction between Complex and Complicated. According to the dictionaries used by these commenters, there is no difference and I am just a wanker.

So in hope of more undertstanding I bring in the big gun - Johnnie Moore.

Here is the pdf of his brilliant chapter on this topic in the More Space Book Project where he clearly shows the difference and the issues of confusing the two.

Here you can hear his podcast as he reads the chapter and if you want, you can either buy the book or see other chapters. ( I am another author)
