I'd like to see an instance proof of that myself.

Smart data structures and dumb code works a lot better than the other way
around.[1]

Fred Brooks, the Mythical Man Month, as quoted by Eric Raymond [1]:

   Brooks, Chapter 9: ``Show me your [code] and conceal your [data
   structures], and I shall continue to be mystified. Show me your [data
   structures], and I won't usually need your [code]; it'll be obvious.''
