Thanks for the correction and the comment, Jason. I don't know the real name of Nulan (or cnulan, as he's known in Cobb's comments) and jumped to the conclusion that you were he, for which I apologize.

While I'm tempted to argue that consolidating 17 mom & pop stores into one Wal-Mart Supercenter certainly simplifies things for the consumer, my own post would contradict that argument. I will say that if the increased complexity doesn't profit somebody, then it's not going to happen - the market, left to its own devices, will destroy the excessively complex innovation and move on.
