Why would you need to put in more money if you are not complicating the code so that the bureaucrats who will end up interpreting that code will have to spend more time and thus more resources on it?</p>",

Pourquoi devriez-vous investir plus d'argent si vous ne compliquez pas le code et si les bureaucrates qui l'interpr\u00e9teront n'y consacreront pas plus de temps et de ressources?</p>"
