So then isn't using "complicated" normally, in an attention-grabbing headline, referring to the watches complications, in a round-a-bout way?


But they’re not using it with its normal meaning in the headline. They’re using it only with the “term of art” meaning. You’re insisting on seeing a double entendre that just isn’t there.
