John D. Cook is an expert at posing as a 5-6 figure consultant by making use of extremely trivial Math.
Not a complain, but the opposite, I wish I had it like that!

I am an expert at posing as a 5-6 figure consultant by making use of extremely trivial computer science. I figure a lot of us here are like that.

Indeed!
I wish you were right but what we see as something simple is sometimes made simple by huge amount of work.
Look at how we learn maths and physics right now, it is much simpler than what they had back then. Centuries of human work / knowledge / capital were compressed into tiny powerful equations / definitions / demonstrations, empowering new humans to look at more complex stuff more easily. And there is a good opportunity right now to simplify this even more
That seems uncharitable. I for one enjoy the tidbits he posts in is blog.
