There isn’t really a single sliding scale of “complexity” when it comes to certain tasks. Given the appropriate input, a calculator can divide two numbers. But it can’t count the number of R’s in the word “strawberry”.

Similarly, we didn’t complain that a typewriter couldn’t put pepperoni slices onto a pizza.
