> Limiting choices inherently makes things LESS complex.

"Do you want me to kick you in the face, or the groin?" is a substantially more complex choice than "Do you want me to kick you in the face, or the groin, or not at all?"

Sometimes, limited choices require you to shoehorn something into one of those available choices when it's not actually appropriate. Such is the case with medical record systems at times.



That is a bug in the system them. Don't confuse bugs in the system with the idea that the system cannot/should not be fixed!
