These are not mutually exclusive preferences, they can easily coexist in a single person. I think you're both correct, basically.
We could even examine if simplicity vs complexity have any coding as "hard" or "soft", if we wished. Say, a piece of equipment breaks, do I bust out technical sheets, troubleshoot what went wrong and replace a broken component, or do I whack the whole thing with a wrench? I would argue that the simpler option of intentionally failing to understand and whacking it with a wrench codes as "harder" than the alternative, due to stubbornness and unwillingness to learn/change being a component of our cultural understanding of "hard" in America.
