We try to make our ideas as simple as possible.

How fitting that the sentence contains try while most of the other sentences use more definite language.

I don't know what many of those words mean :(

It's because of the "as possible." I might change it to "we like when ideas are simple," since that might be closer to the first meaning.

I don't think that the majority of LW succeeds at "keeping things as simple as possible".
