Yeesh, that last comment of mine was poorly written. Let me try again.
It’s highly debatable whether it matters which measure of simplicity is in use. It definitely matters that the one you use is not precisely specified. As it is, I have nothing more to go on than, “Unknown said so”—and I can’t generalize to see if its use makes sense (satisfies some optimality criterion) beyond the limited case you’re arguing for.
