Ever heard of Occam's razor?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occam%27s_razor

"The principle states that the explanation of any phenomenon should make
as few assumptions as possible, eliminating those that make no
difference in the observable predictions of the explanatory hypothesis
or theory."

Finding a more complicated way of explaining things is usually easy. 
Going to the simplest is more valuable.
