Good post, but I object to the title. On average, more complex hypotheses must have lower prior probabilities, just for reasons of summability to 1.
I think a more proper title would be "The prior of a hypothesis is not a function of its complexity".
People sometimes casually use "is a function of" to mean "depends on", so "is not determined by its complexity" might be clearer.
