Now, What have you done to prove what you are saying?

Well, @Swenani, while you may think that wealth and hot air balloon feats can make any assertion correct I think otherwise.
First among the many things I have done is determine the context and meaning of the word 'simple' from a dictionary. Where it means, 'lacking in knowledge' and 'not socially or culturally sophisticated'. And this is because my assertion about the 21st century is one of 'Sophistication'.
I understand that by 'simple' you and your Branson might be meaning, 'readily understood or performed' but that in itself isn't ALWAYS a virtue or a truth. For example, Branson's simplicity led him to investing in Kenya, but only briefly. Why? Because the simplicity of his idea couldn't fit with the complexity of the times.
I believe I have showed, even if indirectly, that it's possible also to have a fool being simple.
