The way the French response overcomplicates things feels analogous to how founders also overcomplicate things:

> many of the conversations we have with founders begin with the founders saying a sentence that begins with "how do I.." and the partner answering with a sentence that begins with "just".

i.e. Often the most absurdly simple solution is the best one.
