Strictly following Moseley and Marks’s definition, the fact that we can get the user (or the customer, or the product owner) to accept a change of requirements, implies that the removed complexity wasn’t essential in the first place. Instead, we made progress in uncovering the true essence of the problem. The point is that this progress required engineers to question assumptions and dissuade stakeholders; without their involvement, the unnecessary features would have become part of the problem specification, “ossified” into its essence.
